Miles' Rating:

Starring: Little sister Tara Aire wants to be a stewardess, big sister Juliet Anderson, a head Stewardess, wants to be the first female pilot. Together, they use their sexual wiles to help the other beat back the male prejudices of Anderson's pilot lover Jamie Gillis and convince Paul Thomas, a board member for the airline, to see things their way. Long unavailable on video, it is now out on DVD.

This low-budget Bob Vosse production came near the end of the Golden Age, but is no classic. It suffers from a shaky script that tosses in everything from mile-high club sex (involving passengers and the crew) to female mud wrestling, all at the expense of a coherent story.

Juliet Anderson is as fiesty as ever, and Tara Aire uses her young girl charm to good effect. But the set-ups are so predictable and most of the sex so standard, there's no steady heat.

Though the plot allows for numerous couplings--Anderson and Aire each bribing Thomas with their sexual skills--the best moments are in small scenes. Billy Dee does a steamy number under the table of a bar where he fingers then fucks the lead singer of a very bad female band. That's followed by a very short, almost non-sexual sequence between mud wrestlers Tara and Erica Boyer. Crusted in dried dirt, the girls limit their actions to some tongue-twisty kissing and caressing, but the scene is charged.

Even when Jamie Gillis tangles with a dominatrix, the sex feels restrained. It's also sad to note this was one of Anderson's last appearances. Another problem: the film is poorly dubbed.

A A decent idea never fully realized.
