I saw this on tv years ago but watched it today via new blu ray.
It is good fun and of interest in how it tells its story.
Even for 1953 it is cosy and unrealistic,I did not expect anything else.
But it has a lot of location filming in Paris and it looks great.
As someone obsessed with aviation history I expect they did provide meals on flights to Paris in this period.
Flying was for richer people then and this was before the jet age,the flight would have been longer than it is nowadays.
Passengers would expect food and drink on nearly all flights..
One of the reviews here made me scratch my head.
France famous for poor food produce? Really?
British airliners always crashing? Well we know about the Comet but Britain had a mighty aviation industry in the 1950s.
The French talk about the 30 glorious years of growth and prosperity after WW2.
I never found out exactly which years? 1945-1975? 1948-1978? In any case France recovered from world war 2 thanks to the Marshall plan but also to the hard work of its citizens and due to having an economic plan.
