In 1910, "the flying machine" was the craze of the time. However, because it had just been invented, everything was still in its infancy. Lord Rawnsley (played by Robert Morley), editor of the Daily Mail, organized a race from London to Paris to showcase the superiority of the British race. If everything went as expected, his son-in-law Richard Melish (played by James Fox) would win the race. The announcement of the competition attracted enthusiastic entries from flying enthusiasts around the world. However, what was supposed to be an adventure race turned into a contest for the affections of Patricia Rawnsley (played by Sarah Miles). The film was nominated for Best Original Screenplay at the 38th Academy Awards in 1966, and for Best Motion Picture (Musical or Comedy) and Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy at the 23rd Golden Globe Awards in 1966. The film depicts the personalities of pilots from different countries: the stiff German, the sly Frenchman, the arrogant Italian, and the unlucky Japanese, while the British and Americans are portrayed as helpful good guys. Many classic scenes from the film have been imitated in subsequent comedies, paying homage to this film.
