    • Trivia
      This film's leading lady, Andrea Dromm, rose to fame (very briefly) in a series of TV commercials for National Airlines, playing a sexy stewardess and coining the (very briefly) popular catchphrase, "Is this any way to run an airline? You bet it is!" The phrase was often parodied, and it was referenced in several reviews of this film (i.e., "Is this any way to make a movie? You bet it isn't" ).

    Badly failed attempt at a Thunderball copy.
    I watched this film in 2021, hoping I could determine if I had ever seen it before, since the title sounded familiar. Alas, I did not recognize anything from it. The film is so unremarkable that I may have seen it once but then completely forgot everything in it. Despite my love of the James Bond film "Thunderball" (1965), underwater scenery, attractive ladies, and spy films in general, there was nothing in this film that stood out as interesting, exciting, or particularly attractive anywhere. It is surprising to me they could they have so many great elements in place but still fail to produce even a moderately interesting movie that fit my taste.

    Some of the copied elements from Thunderball are: opening credits with a silhouetted lady dancing in front of colored lights, a Paris scene in the beginning with the Eiffel Tower, an outdoor band with congas, a sprawling estate on the seashore with a guard shack, snooping around a suspect's room, a hotel lobby and stairs to the second floor, a (faked) shark attack, a lady agent who is interrogated in an underground room, pulling an enemy agent down from below a deck, an underwater cave, a headquarters with head agents among field equipment and a black technician, a Felix Leiter-looking agent wearing sunglasses, guests around a pool at the estate, an underwater battle with spear guns and knives, a U. S. Navy warship, and boats blowing up at the end.

    How did all this fail to make a favorable impression on me? Possibly it was the unrealistic shark jaws device, the intended humorous narration, the leading lady (Andrea Dromm) who bleached her hair beyond blonde into white, beach party type music and dancing instead of classy classical music and romantic dancing, lack of any music in the action scenes, lack of spooky music in the snooping scenes, a limited budget that omitted bomber aircraft and a fleet of warships, lack of classy European settings and mysterious foreign languages, lack of clever gadgets, lack of a good mystery element, and unrealistic fight scenes. Overall it seemed as if the film was intended to be a beach party / comedy film instead of an exciting, believable spy film, and it ended up failing to be any of those genres.

    By the way, Andrea Dromm was known from a Summer Blonde commercial in the 1960s. Also, the origin of the film name was hinted at in the film scene where the snooping spy comes across a Frank Sinatra album: remember that the song "Come Fly With Me" was a popular Frank Sinatra song. In fact, that room snooping scene was probably the most entertaining part of the film, due to the humorous narration at that point that sarcastically pointed out the spy's repeated failures to find anything of interest in the room.
