Come Fly With Me Still 5304-26 Mat 1-A “COME FLY WITH ME” ROMANTIC COMEDY OF THREE GLAMOROUS AIRLINE HOSTESSES AND THE MEN WHO CROSS THEIR AIR-PATH New MGM Attraction, Filmed in Panavision and Color in London, Paris and Vienna, Stars Dolores Hart, Hugh O’Brian, Karl Boehm, Pamela Tiffin, Karl Malden and Lois Nettleton Stars, romance, laughter, plus a close-up tour, in Panavision and color, of Paris Left Bank night clubs and Vienna palaces—these are the ingredients of one of Metro-GoldwynMayer’s happiest romantic comedies, “Come Fly With Me.” A lilting and lighthearted story of three international airline hostesses and the men they meet on their flights from New York to far-flung places, the picture has a talent-packed cast of stars, headed by Dolores Hart; Hugh O’Brian, returning to films after six years as TV’s popular Wyatt Earp; Karl Boehm, fresh from his hit in “The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm”; Pamela Tiffin; Academy Award-winner Karl Malden and Lois Nettleton. The Misses Hart, Tiffin and Nettleton play the trio of hostesses, each of whom becomes involved in a merry man-hunt. Dolores catches the fancy of Karl Boehm, playing a Baron with a slightly tarnished coat-of-arms. Pamela has her eye on handsome Hugh O’Brian, the plane’s First Officer, but is up against tough competition from Parisian Dawn Addams, who doesn’t let the fact that she already has a husband stand in her way. Lois Nettleton falls for the nice Texan (Karl Malden) whom she meets in tourist section, and when he takes her on a joyride of Paris, she tries to save him money. (How could she guess he was a millionaire ! ) The adventures and misadventures of the assorted romantic twosomes involve both dramatic and amusing complications before each girl happily is able to resolve her romantic destiny. One of the picture’s delightful episodes has Malden and Miss Nettleton, on their night out as Paris tourists, being guided by a sly little French boy who wants to take them to all the places no gentleman should take a lady. Other eye-filling sequences were filmed on location in Vienna, with this beautiful city’s Opera House and the palaces and gardens of Austrian emperors as backgrounds. Another to-beremembered scene, photographed at lovely Lake Worthersee in Austria, has Dolores Hart and Karl Boehm sharing a romantic interlude on water-skis, Based on a screen play by William Roberts, the picture was lavishly pro duced by Anatole de Grunwald. It was directed by Henry Levin, who directed the biographical portions of “Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm” and, previous to that, the MGM comedy hit, “Where the Boys Are.” Everyone will be up in the air with joy at “Come Fly With Me.” The weather is perfect for romance, the visibility clear for love, and the altitude just right for laughter !

Mladen Sekulovich, of Yugoslavian descent, shed this unwieldy name early in his acting career to become the more easily pronounced Karl Malden. Dolores Hicks was satisfied with her given name but felt her surname to be a bit on the bucolic side for an actress. She has since done very well as Dolores Hart. Pamela Wonso didn’t want to trade in on the name of her father, the wellknown architect Stanley Wonso, and determined to strike out for herself as Pamela Tiffin. It is a name rapidly becoming as celebrated as that of her parent. Also starring in “Come Fly With Me” are Hugh O’Brian, Karl Boehm and Lois Nettleton. No nom de plumes. They Could Have Called It “Come Tour With Me” Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer’s new _ romantic comedy, “Come Fly With Me,” offers filmgoers a tour of London, Paris and Vienna, where the story of airline hostesses and the men in their lives was filmed on location in Panavision and color, PAMELA TIFFIN’S METEORIC IMPACT In a screen career which has encompassed only four pictures, brown ead emerged as one of the fastest-rising film newcomers ever to make a meteoric impact on Hollywood. Miss Tiffin first appeared on the screen in “Summer and Smoke,” in which she accomplished the not inconsiderable feat of taking Laurence Harvey away from Geraldine Page. She followed with “One, Two, Three” and “State Fair,’ and currently plays an airline hostess in Metro-GoldwynMayer’s “Come Fly With Me” ina cast also starring Dolores Hart, Hugh O’Brian, Karl Boehm, Karl Malden and Lois Nettleton. That this beautiful ex-model has brains to match her looks is attested to by the fact that she completed her high school education in Oak Lawn, Illinois, in three years. Billy Wilder, who directed her in “One, Two, Three,” says “Pamela is so smart in front of the camera that I can’t understand why she isn’t on the Supreme Court. She’s the greatest film discovery to come along since Audrey Hepburn.” Of her film debut, the girl whose only previous celebrity was as top Cover Girl for Vogue, Glamour and other leading fashion magazines, says: “It was all pretty confusing. I was visiting friends on a vacation in southern California and was taken to lunch in the commissary at the Paramount Studios. I was hardly seated when someone asked me if I had a few minutes to spare. The next thing I knew I was taken up to Producer Hal Wallis’ office. “He asked me if I could act. ‘Well, no,’ I answered. ‘It doesn’t mattter,’ he said, ‘I’d like you to make a screen test.’ He called in an assistant who suggested I read the part of Nellie in ‘Summer and Smoke,’ which Mr. Wallis was about to produce. Well, to shorten the story, I made the test and got the Pane Until that time, Miss Tiffin had not given a thought to an acting career. Born in Oklahoma City, she began modeling children’s clothes at the age of eleven and continued modeling teenage fashions while she was in high school. When her family moved to New York, Pamela, now a full-time model, achieved top status with the class magazines and if she had not taken that fateful California vacation, might still be decorating the coated-stock pages. Dolores Hart and Boehm Romance on Water-Skis It was “old home week” for Karl Boehm when Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer’s “Come Fly With Me” location company filmed scenes at Lake Worthersee in Austria. The troupe was billeted at the luxurious Palace Hotel, one of two hostelries there owned by an aunt of 30ehm’s with whom he spent much of his childhood. Airline hostesses Pamela Tiffin and Dolores Hart are worried about their colleague, Lois Nettleton, who hasn't returned from her date with Karl Malden. The scene is from Metro-GoldwynMayer’s new romantic comedy, **Come Fly With Me,” filmed in Panavision and color on locations in London, Paris and Vienna. Also playing leading roles are Hugh O'Brian and Karl Boehm. Still 5304-30 Come Fly With Me Mat 2-D
