So, this one is a quirky little comedy from '72, where these rich kids decide to hijack a plane because their pops is against their romances with two less fortunate gals. It’s got that wild, free-spirited vibe typical of the era, and you can really feel the absurdity in the pacing. The performances have that charming, slightly over-the-top quality that you either love or leave behind. The practical effects, particularly in the air sequences—while they might not hold up to today's standards—carry a certain charm that adds to the overall atmosphere of mischief and rebellion. Not your average comedy, for sure, and definitely a unique piece in the genre.
This film has had a bit of a mixed life in terms of formats, hard to find on modern streaming but some VHS and DVDs pop up occasionally. Collector interest seems to vary; it’s not exactly a household name, but there’s a niche appreciation for its offbeat humor and charm. If you happen to find a good-quality print, it might be worth holding onto—definitely a conversation starter among collectors.
