Poster reminds me of a 60's film.

I actually thought it was a 60's film till I clicked on it and saw the cast. Might be worth checking out.

I thought that as well. Clicked on it to see if it was worth looking for on YouTube and belatedly caught the cast names on the way in.

In the 60s and 70s there were actually a lot of exploitation movies about stewardesses, it was a whole genre.

Yes, one of those uniforms and careers that make men go into fantasy land. Of course many Stewardesses actually do sex work too so it all works out.

Many?

Yeah, the intro is very much reminiscent of the Mad Men’s falling man intro which was 1960’s period drama, which was inspired by Saul Bass’ movies title sequences and his graphic design.

So I got both Saul Bass and Mad Men vibe from it.

Also similar to the opening sequences for the most recent seasons of Archer.

Oh, yeah. Good catch.

Yep it does fit the aesthetics of the era.

It's a nice touch. I miss when movie posters looked cool instead of the photoshopped garbage we get now.

They must have changed the pic here I guess you mean this one https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQfZcB75EPENIajHbGo_GzqAuSPrff3I_5mbc0M5Hpy7YuT3SFQ

It does look 60's. Kaley is using her fave expression too.
