I don't know when this was filmed but I think it was made after Beast of Yucca Flats and Red Zone Cuba. I know that Yucca Flats was released in '61 and Red Zone Cuba was filmed un '61. Skydivers has the feel of a complete movie with a full script and lots of padding to flesh it out. The other two movies had plots that can be summed up in a single sentence fragment. This movie has a plot twisting love triangle. It is clumsy in execution but it is at least tried.
The movie is boring even with MST3K's often dated comedy commentary. I have watched it without that commentary and suddenly I felt like I was watching an off feeling French film of the early 60s. Make the characters all qorkers on the Eiffel Tower, watch them work for 40 minutes, add some music at a bar qhere they al hang out, throw in the love affair stuff and it would be similar to this. Even the coffee fits.
