Production
Film rights to the book were once owned by Robert Aldrich who bought them in 1968.[1]
Aldrich wanted to make it under a deal he had with ABC Pictures. He had a script done by Theodore Flicker which he described as "very funny, very dirty" about a stewardess who tries to lose her virginity. "We took the Doris Day formula of all those successful Pillow Talk comedies and inverted it", said Aldrich.[2] However ABC did not want to make it. "Nobody likes our script of it except me", said Aldrich.[3]
When Aldrich's option lapsed it was picked up by CBS who made it as a TV movie which used the plot of The Captain's Paradise (1953). "It's not all that naughty", said star Karen Valentine. "It's done in the best possible taste."[4]
