The Ruth Brooks Flippen script is an improvement, with an intriguing concept, as Ann has a chance to play stewardess "on the air and in the air."  Unfortunately, there's too much going on and the focus keeps shifting, with subplots brought up and then abandoned, like Ann and Donald planning to spend time together in Miami, despite Lew's disapproval, and the real stewardess, Terry (Arlene Golonka), being romantically interested in Donald.  The "hi-jack" of the title is relatively timely, as are the references to Castro's Cuba.  I do like how the rumors spread on board, and the passengers are funny.

Leon Colker makes his second of four TG appearances, this time as Hoffman, while Arthur Julian makes his third of four, as Binswanger.  And this time Jane Dulo is Mrs. Stevenson.
