Storyline:This film provided Sirk""s clear commentary and critique of the underlying hollowness and shallowness of American society in the placid 1950s, and misfit lives stunted and corrupted by mental anguish, alcoholism, sexual frustration, and corruptible materialistic wealth.Oxygen masks deployed as Lois unhooked her seat belt to help the downed spokesperson - but found herself thrown about the interior of the endangered cabin during the mid-air emergency.Later, she spoofed her own role inThe Man With Two Brains (1983).Kasdan had also contributed as co-screenwriter for wo of the biggest early 1980s films -Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980)andRaiders of the Lost Ark (1981).The film""s screenwriter Paddy Chayefsky transformed his own original teleplay into a successful major motion picture - and the modest film remains one of the best examples of the cinematization of a television play.
