Heralded racing driver Pierre Chaillot has never noticed the pretty young flight attendant who dotes on him adoringly. But when his fiancée's infidelity drives him to the brink of suicide, Pierre's guardian angel takes the form of this stewardess to urge him to choose life. Though the angel confesses her divinity, Pierre is skeptical of the existence of angels. But, despite their difference, the two bond during her brief sojourn in human form.

BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment
Skunkyrate Gripping story with well-crafted characters
Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .
Dotbankey A lot of fun.
dbdumonteil At the time ,Romy Schneider ,in the wake of Sissi ,was making schmaltzy stuff with few exceptions : one of them was precisely "Mädchen in Uniform" Radvanyi's remake of Leontine Sagan 's thirties movie about lesbianism.The next year,Radvanyi and his star teamed up again ,but for a light comedy.Hindsight displays its charm:Romy Schneider plays two parts ,an air hostess and a pilot's guardian angel;there's also handsome Henri Vidal who was to die the following year,Jean-Paul Belmondo ,on the verge of a very successful career,and Michelle Mercier the future Angélique Marquise des Anges.The action takes place on the cote d'azur and the landscapes are nicely filmed.Harmless entertaining stuff.
