Experienced star vehicle with Sonja Ziemann and Ivan Desny
In the 1950s, air travel was still something spectacular. It made sense to let audience favorite Sonja Ziemann (1926-2020) fly all the way to Athens as an attractive stewardess. These trials and tribulations of a flight attendant are no longer particularly impressive these days, but they are extremely well cast. We see Ivan Desny (1922-2002) as the married beau of the love-needy leading actress. His ailing wife is "Geierwally" Barbara Rütting (1927-2020). Claus Biederstaedt (1928-2020) plays the cute pilot with whom Sonja Ziemann can avoid the happy ending at the end of many detours.
Two supporting actors should be highlighted: the later West German TV series star Maria Sebaldt (1930-2023) as a cheeky stewardess who marries a Swede even though she doesn't understand Swedish, and the comedian Louis De Funes (1914-1983), who would become the well-known French box office magnet in the 1960s.
Insignificant mass entertainment from the Bavaria film studios, but back then there was at least a film industry worth mentioning in German-speaking countries!
