There are many unusual sequences: a love scene between Test Pilot Patrick and his wife (Ann Todd), wearing oxygen masks, played eight miles up in the air as they jet-hop from London to Cairo for a leisurely lunch; Test Pilot John Justin laughing with joy as he crashes the sound barrier in a shattering, exquisite moment, and then suddenly breaking into tears from the ordeal of the flight when he lands on the ground; the camera tilting crazily, as if it were careering through the sky, while focused on Tycoon Richardson shakily listening in his office to a radio...
