One of Doris' worst films...but not all her fault

Sorry, I disagree that the last 30 miunutes are 'laughable'. This type of scenareo has played out in real life, where a flight attendant has to land a aircraft. Flight attendants are not trained to fly, but they are trained to keep a level head when a disaster is emminent. And the first offier's comment of not causing panic in the cabin by asking for a pilot did make sense, especially as he said, we don't know what lunatic we may have down there".

The tower instructions, even the hand-over to 'channel 7'was as it should have been, the radar 'scope was great, and I was waiting with baited breath for the command to get the 'gear down' - and coupled with some real extrior shots, it worked superbly. It almost became an insturctuioinbalk film for first-time pilots flying a Douglas DC4. Knock th efilm for being bitty if you wish, but the last half-hour makes for one of the novie moment greats.

Oh - it wold have helped if the husband had gotten himself a boarding pass before sneaking on board, but other than that...

I was not crazy about this film since "narrations" don't work well with me. Hearing the star's voice telling us how she feels, etc. bothers me. The part of Julie was a "one note Johnny" and the story a might simple. Doris Day actually played a similar role, later in "Midnight Lace." Her performance was merely hysterical in "Lace," and a series of mishaps, which were set up to kill her. Aside from an incredible wardrobe, it was not that good. But, with what she was given as a script, Day was good in the role.

"Julie" was a waste, all around for Ms. Day. I would like to have seen her and Louis Jourdan in another film, just as I felt that she and Cary Grant would have faired better in something other than "That Touch of Mink."

Hi,one can never be too rich or have too many friends. Actually Doris and melcher had formed the company before Julie,in storyline it was revealed she had taken flying lessons before her first marraige so it wasn't such a stretch for her to land plane. The part about the Police unable to help her from sicko husband was amazingly contemporary,is the situation different? Just wondered

The movie has some notable elements of suspense, but they were sometimes undermined by the largely unbelievable ability Julie's husband had to find her more quickly than even the police could respond to Cliff's shooting. It needed better pacing, especially leading up to the final act. The plane dilemma felt overlong and all of the tension necessary to sustain the remainder of the film completely dropped off after Lyle stormed the cabin. From there it played like a long-winded demonstration training in avionics. JULIE struck only a mild interest with me.

this is a very weak film

When there's no more room in hell, The dead will walk the earth...

So far so good.

The ending....no. They could have cut out the whole last half hour.

For a hand-picked script of Doris Day's and her husband's production company , it was ridiculous. The movie lost me at her packing clothes and makeup while trying to flee her husband, esp after the ludicrous "pressing on the accelerator" and almost killing her. Do you know that a car will stop or at least slow down if you apply the brake, even at full acceleration? Just a bad script from the start, and it just kept getting worse. Too bad - I liked her hair, though, in this film. The later Doris Day "Flip" used to drive me nuts.
