Airplane designer Craig would rather be tinkering with traction engines than testing his new supersonic airliner. When an American executive comes to England (with lovely daughter Helm in tow) to purchase a new airliner fleet, all sorts of complications, both business and romantic, ensue.

Enjoyable bit of fluff, almost but not quite in the Carry On vein. It's actually very close in spirit to Genevieve. Nice that for once, the American actors aren't shoehorned in but are actually part of the plot. The romantic subplot between Craig and Helm is a bit wearisome, especially as both characters are ninnies, but that's not the actors' fault, just that of these romantic "I hate you so much, but I suddenly love you" type plots. Nice to see Hale in a decent role beofre being marooned on typecasting island for several years.

Note: IMDb lists this film incorrectly as Swinging Maiden. It's a British film and in this day and age when original prints are so easily available, films should be listed under their proper title. The IMDb editors don't care about accuracy, so whatever. Still, the US title is actually The Swingin' Maiden, but they couldn't even get that right. Many of the character names in the IMDb listing are incorrect as well. Rant over; go about your business... [Update 12/20/2014: Well, someone on IMDb updated & corrected the listing, but I'l leave my rant here for posterity)

And apologies for quality of screenshots; this another film that has never been released on DVD, and exisitng prints are cropped. Several actors are listed in the opening credits, but do not appear to be in the final cut of the film.
