Boeing Boeing (1965 film)

Boeing Boeing is a 1965 American comedy film directed by John Rich, based on the 1960 French play of the same name by Marc Camoletti. The film stars Tony Curtis, Jerry Lewis, and Dahlia Lavi.

The plot revolves around an American journalist in Paris who is engaged to three different stewardesses, each working for a different airline, and manages to keep them from discovering each other by carefully coordinating their arrival and departure schedules. His elaborate scheme is complicated by the introduction of the new, faster Boeing 707, which throws his carefully constructed timetable into disarray, and by the hapless attempts of his friend, played by Jerry Lewis, to assist him.

The film is a farcical comedy relying on physical humor and mistaken identity. It received mixed reviews upon its release, with some critics finding it amusing while others criticized its reliance on broad stereotypes and predictable gags. Despite the mixed critical reception, the film was a box office success.
