Still 5304-x-15 Come Fly With Me Mat 3-A AT LAST, HUGH O'BRIAN KISSES A GIRL INSTEAD OF A HORSE! “Tt’s a relief to be playing opposite a beautiful girl rather than a horse.” The speaker is Hugh O’Brian, handsome six-footer, who achieved television fame during his six-year stint as the intrepid Western hero of the popular “Wyatt Earp” series, and who now enacts an airlines flight officer in Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer’s romantic comedy, “Come Fly With Me.” The girl he speaks of is Pamela Tiffin, sharing honors in the all-star cast with Dolores Hart, Karl Boehm, Karl Malden and Lois Nettleton. “Not that I have anything against horses,” adds O’Brian. “But let’s face it. It was more fun kissing Miss Tiffin.” The actor had his share of adventures on horseback in such outdoor epics as “The Lawless Breed,” “Man From the Alamo,” ‘“Sasketchewan,” “White Feather” and “Broken Lance,” to name but a few. “T was beginning to think I was doomed to do all my emoting astride a stallion,” he says. However, O’Brian broke the spell by making a successful Broadway stage debut in “First Love,” a play definitely without a horse, Now returning to the screen, he has signed an MGM contract for a picture a year for five years, first of which is “Come Fly With Me.” O’Brian was born in Rochester, New York, During his freshman year at the University of Cincinnati, he enlisted in the Marine Corps for a four-year hitch and at eighteen became the youngest drill instructor in the history of the Corps. His father retired as Captain from the Marine Corps before World War II and it appeared that Hugh would follow in his father’s footsteps. A visit to Los Angeles in the summer of 1947 changed the direction of his future. Circumstances threw him in with a Little Theatre group and the lure of grease paint determined him on an acting career. But it was no bed of roses. Between work in summer stock and on television, he earned his living as a gardener, tie salesman and general handy man. The turning point came when Ida Pilot Hugh O'Brian tweaks the nose of fledgling airline hostess Pamela Tiffin in a scene from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer’s new romantic comedy, ‘‘Come Fly With Me.” Filmed on locations in London, Paris and Vienna, the sparkling cast also includes Dolores Hart, Karl Boehm, Karl Malden and Lois Nettleton.

Mat 1-E COME FLY WITH DOLORES HART, BUT WATCH YOUR TRAVEL DO'S AND DON'TS (Travel Page Feature ) “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” Although she substituted London, Paris and Vienna for Rome during location filming for Metro-GoldwynMayer’s romantic comedy, “Come Fly With Me,” Dolores Hart lived up to the age-old maxim. “The first thing to learn when traveling abroad is to forget about your own background,” she says. “People in the countries you visit find it annoying to be told ‘We don’t do it that way.’ “Remember when visiting a foreign land that you are a guest, just as much as if you had been invited into someone’s home. If you start off with the idea that your hosts are peculiar, they will resent you and you will become a peculiarity to them.” Miss Hart always manages to be at home in whatever country she visits. She mixes with people and learns their customs and ways. “You should try to learn at least a few of the elementary phrases in the language of the country you are visiting,” she says. “The people with whom you talk will feel flattered to hear you speaking in their native tongue and they will like you all the more for it. “Tt’s easy to buy a phrase book and learn how to say ‘Good Morning’ or ‘Thank You.’ With just a few words, you can make as many friends as if you spoke the language perfectly.” Miss Hart has advice on other aspects of foreign travel. “It’s important to travel light,” she says. “I take an absolute minimum of clothing and I rely a great on casual clothes for relaxation. “Always have enough small change SKIMMING THE WAVES Dolores Hart in a water-skiing sequence of Metro-Goldwyn Mayer’s *‘Come Fly With Me,” in which she plays an airline hostess who falls in love with Karl Boehm.

Another good point to remember is to handle your own baggage whenever possible. If you can’t, when you turn it over to a porter, remember his number so you won’t be in a dither if you don’t recognize him later on. “As an American, you probably are used to your own type of diet. So don’t rush into a restaurant in another country and order exotic dishes. You’re likely to end up with indigestion. By all means, try the local specialties. But take them gradually. It’s always safe to eat steak, chicken, eggs and fruit until you are accustomed to the native food.” Miss Hart advises travelers not to be tempted into trying to see everything in a short space of time, but to take it easy and enjoy the things you really want to see. “Don’t take in too many countries on one trip,” she concludes. “It’s much better to see as much of one country as possible than a little of several.” DIRECTOR LEVIN TOOK THE CHANCE There was no need for Director Henry Levin to wonder whether two of his stars would be up to measure when he _ piloted Metro-GoldwynMayer’s new romantic comedy, “Come Fly With Me.” He was familiar with previous. examples of performances by Dolores Hart and Karl Boehm. Levin directed Miss Hart in the earlier MGM comedy hit, “Where the Boys Are.” Subsequently he guided the biographical portions of the MGMCinerama production, “The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm,” in which Boehm portrayed Jacob Grimm. The only stars he had to take a chance on in “Come Fly With Me” were Hugh O’Brian and Karl Malden, both acting veterans, the fast-rising Pamela Tiffin and Broadway’s prizewinning Lois Nettleton. It wasn’t much of a gamble! Levin, who started his show business career as a vaudeville actor, later became a Broadway stage manager and summer theatre operator. Since becoming a movie director, he has some 40 pictures to his credit, in which most of Hollywood’s luminaries have at one time or another appeared. 3
