Meet Christie Love, the singing stewardess, warbling "We Can Work it Out" in the elaborate first class flight from L. A. to London that takes 10 minutes. At the airport, she busts a pickpocket (Linda Dano!) who pleads for "sisterly understanding" and is cut down with Love's feminist observation. Later she somehow gets a stewardess outfit and successfully boards a plane to rescue her boss, Jack Kelly, who's been taken hostage by none other than Gomez Addams.
I noticed here that Teresa Graves' voice has a bouncy enthusiasm, reminding me of Liza Minnelli, then one of the world's biggest superstars. But Graves is no rent-a-cop. She's the real deal, taking initiative to take chances and of course succeeding in the silly situation that has John Astin forcing Kelly to transfer a briefcase for him, using a bomb attached to one of the team to use as leverage. London locations are fun, as is the presence of "My Fair Lady's" Wilfred Hyde White in a major cameo. The plot is ridiculous, but rather tongue in cheek and Graves seems to be having a blast.
