THOSE MAGNIFICENT MEN IN THEIR FLYING MACHINES. Reproductions of vintage aircraft soar blithely skyward bearing Terry-Thomas, Alberto Sordi and Gert Frobe to the high points of a fiaphappy comedy about a London-Paris air race in 1910-while vixenish Sarah Miles waits in the winners' circle to choose between Stuart Whitman and James...
...gags, chase sequences and romantic interludes add more weight than wit; and an aged running joke about German militarism threatens at moments to send the show into a nosedive. But the day is nearly always saved by an inspired stroke of slapstick, a device wielded with mighty effect by Gert Frobe as Germany's Colonel von Holstein.

On an offshore island, the first victim is soon shelling out 40 million francs for rights to a sandy beach he already owns.

The sucker is soon poorer by 60 million...
...Aunt Gert and Uncle Walter Snyder worked for the Scrantons for some 42 years. At Hobe Sound, Fla., one night, a tanker was torpedoed off the coast. The "Duchess," as you called her, and my Aunt Gert and Uncle Walt helped all of the survivors into the elegantly furnished Scranton winter home. About 100 oil-soaked sailors were given blankets, cigarettes, coffee, sandwiches. Mrs. Scranton was up all night helping to make the men comfortable...
