It was directed by Jack Arnold, and written by Danny Arnold, based on story by Edmund H. North. PlotDaredevil pilot Mike Dandridge goes into a business partnership with flight-school pal Al Reynolds and meets Maggie Colby, who's also a pilot. The two flyers take cargo to Japan, where they become romantically involved. Al is best man at their wedding, then joins the Air Force. Mike hires new pilot Nikki Taylor and might be having an affair with her during business trips while Maggie stays home with their new baby. Maggie decides to fly a shipment herself and let Mike care of their daughter for a change. He and co-pilot Phil take a risk by bringing the baby along on a flight to London. Their plane has difficulty landing in a fog, angering Maggie, whose own plane barely got there safely. But at least Mike and Maggie are brought closer by the experience. Cast
ProductionThe film was based on an original screenplay, originally known as Pilots for Hire, then Lion in the Sky. It was the first of a two picture deal Turner had with Universal.[1] It was also known as Wild and Wonderful.[2] Filming started in April 1957.[3] NovelizationA worthwhile novelization of the screenplay, illustrated with production stills, was written by American writer Edward S. Aarons (1916-1975) under the mild pseudonym Edward Ronns, published in a digest size, mass market, tie-in paperback edition by Avon Books (cover price 35¢) with copyright © 1958 assigned to the author (under his pseudonym) and photos copyright © 1958 to Universal Pictures Company, Inc.
