In this 1965 Paramount Pictures comedy, Tony Curtis and Jerry Lewis are nutty and, for all practical purposes, perpetual kids. The setting is Paris where Bernard Lewis (played by Curtis) is definitely a philanderer who never wants to marry but have only fiancees, and he has three who are all airline stewardesses; there is the beautiful actress Christiane Schmitdner who plays a stewardess for Lufthansa, Davy Saval plays a stewardess for Air France, and Suzanna Leigh plays a stewardess for British Airways. Robert Reed, played by Lewis, is a newspaper man assigned to Paris where he stays with his friend of many years Bernard. During his time there, against his wishes Bernard's fiancees end up arriving at his apartment at the same time due to sudden changes in flight schedules, but one doesn't know the others are there. It does become silly and comical when the two men are hiding each girl in a separate bedroom, sometimes moving them around fast, and coming up with weak last-minute excuses as to why each one of them cannot stay where she has been resting. Thelma Ritter is quite comical as the maid who gets caught in the middle of the entire zany situation. The Paris sights are beautiful and, again, despite the bizarre story line, it is hard not to laugh at the nutty piece

In Swedish the names for those Disney chipmunks are "Piff" and "Puff". That happens to rime with "Fluff" and I'd like that as a summary for this film.Well, all comedies are "fluff", more or less. A comedy always leans on society as it is with no ambition of changing anything of it. The farce or impertinence of, say, Laurel and Hardy, is quite different. These guys made fun of whole constitutions and they were never better than when Hardy had a high position in society and Laurel comes and spoils it all. Also their destructiveness as in Tit for Tat or Big Business has a certain edge to it and we never walk away from a Laurel and Hardy film with more respect for society and instead always with less. In fact, when you look at those two as on insults to society, then you start to grasp their "comedy", which is just the opposite of usual comedy.This film is a usual comedy. This film is fluff with piff and puff. Still, for Tony Curtis sake, it is still watchable. He plays it for what it is worth with a shrug like "OK, I was bought and I'm just a slave like all you others".

I happened to see " Boeing, Boeing" on the TCM cable channel, and enjoyed seeing Tony Curtis and Jerry Lewis in this farce. They reminded me of a slightly more modern version of the comical "Road to ..." series of movies with Bob Hope and Bing Crosby.Although not quite as polished as Hope & Crosby, Curtis & Lewis performed better than I expected together, and all the actors performed well. The story idea of a bachelor trying to juggle relationships and schedules with three flight attendants staying in one Paris apartment was interesting even if flawed at times.Fans of Hope & Crosby movies, or Tony Curtis & Jack Lemon should like this pairing of Curtis & Lewis working together to keep the three flight attendants, all engaged to Curtis, from discovering each other. As the scheme falls apart due to flight schedule changes and early arrivals, it is enjoyable to find out how long the girls can be kept unaware that they are sharing the same fiancé and apartment.I do agree with another reviewer that the movie retains a stage play quality, but that is not a significant drawback to the story.

How long can you allow Tony Curtis, to play a swinging bachelor in Paris attempting to juggle his charade of having 3 airline stewardesses as his fiances at one time? You know from the very beginning that the fireworks will have to start once a takeoff will have to be canceled and the stewardesses will all converge on the apartment they share with Curtis.Jerry Lewis plays it straight to Curtis. Jerry needs those funny lines which he is so capable of delivering. Unfortunately, the writing for him is totally inadequate here.Of course, as always, Thelma Ritter, steals the show as Curtis's maid who has to juggle all these women in her schedule without revealing what is going on. Ritter looked very bad in this film and it's no surprise that she died 4 years later.
