...accept the premise that a handsome man in his early thirties would be panting to go to bed with an 84-year-old woman, the movie proceeds logically enough. Before the happy pair can crawl between the satin sheets, they encounter (in no particular order) Tony Curtis, Ringo Starr, George Hamilton, Dom DeLuise, George Raft, Alice Cooper, Walter Pidgeon, Mr. Universe, Mr. U.S.A., Mr. America, Mr. California, Mr. Pennsylvania, and a man (Ed Beheler) who looks so much like Jimmy Carter that even Miss Lillian might set him down for a bowl of grits...

...fleets. At last, this dream seems to be becoming reality. Last month Pan Am signed a $500 million contract with Lockheed for twelve wide-bodied TriStar L-1011s, and last week small, state-owned Singapore Airlines (SIA) stole Pan Am's headlines. It placed with Boeing the richest order in commercial aviation history: $900 million for 13 jumbo 747s and six medium-range 727s.
