Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaExperienced, but amateur skydivers, most with several thousand jumps to their credit, were brought in from California to double for the actors. During one take, an unexpected gust of wind pulled the chute and caused one of the skydivers to be slammed into the ground, breaking his collarbone and dislocating his shoulder. Even though in great pain, he stayed in character and managed to get up and finish the scene. He was retained by Director John Frankenheimer as a consultant.
- GoofsAs the plane flies over the first airfield in the film, the town's name of Bridgeville is clearly painted on the airport's hangar. The skydivers pack up, leave town, drive for what seems half a day or so to the next town, and arrive, again, in Bridgeville.
- Quotes
Mike Rettig: [softly] Tomorrow, when we leave here, I want you to come with me.
Elizabeth Brandon: [clearly surprised at the request] Come with you?
Mike Rettig: Yes.
Elizabeth Brandon: [she makes some low sounds, and he moves toward her] Do you always offer so much more than you're asked for?
Mike Rettig: Only to those who ask so much less than they want.
- Alternate versionsFor the film's premier at the Radio City Music Hall in New York City, MGM removed a scene of striptease in order for the film to receive an "M" rating (suggested for mature audiences, parental description advised). This was since the Radio City Music Hall at the time would only play movies that carried a "G" or "M" rating. The scene was restored when the film played everywhere else in the United States with the rating changed to "R".

Featured review
Kerr and Lancaster Again
Although this film wasn't a career high for either of these great performers it did demonstrate that there was majic between them. If you check Kerr's biography, this film isn't list on her film chronology. In fact, it is hardly mention on any other site other than IMDb's. I think it was because she appeared nude. She was 48 when this film was released. I think she is one of the greatest beauties that ever graced the screen.
