Plot
The lives and loves of a trio of airline hostesses is the whole story in this piece of fluff from MGM. Each of these perky women have cute and cuddly romances from an assortment of wealthy men as they offer coffee or tea on a flight from New York to Paris. Dolores Hart is searching for a rich sugar-daddy and thinks she's found one in a well-to-do baron (Karl Boehm). Lois Nettleton, on the other hand, opts for hooking a multi-millionaire Texan (Karl Malden). Pamela Tiffin, unluckier than the other two, finally flies starry-eyed for handsome pilot Hugh O'Brien. ~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide

Come Fly with Me is a 1963 comedy film about three beautiful international airline stewardesses looking for romance and excitement. The film has dramatic or soap opera elements to it, and was a vehicle for glamorizing the jet age and the prestige, adventure and romance that came with being a stewardess. It is based on Bernard Glemser's chick-lit novel Girl on the wing (1960).
The three stewardesses are based in New York City working for an airline called Polar Atlantic Airways (fictitious). The three serve on a Boeing 707 which made regular flights between New York and Paris or Vienna. Along the way one stewardess (played by Dolores Hart, in her last role before ending her budding film career and entering the monastic life) meets an impoverished Austrianbaron (played by Karlheinz Böhm) who turns out to be a diamond smuggler. Another one, a "Southern belle" (played by Pamela Tiffin), develops a crush on the first officer of the airplane (Hugh O'Brian), who himself is often getting in trouble for having an affair with a married woman (Dawn Addams), whose husband complains to the airline. The third stewardess (played by Lois Nettleton) gets noticed by a multi-millionairewidower from Texas (played by a cowboy-hat wearing Karl Malden).
