| Plot: | When London airport is fogged in, several travelers on the postponed flight to New York find themselves affected in one way or another. Frances Andros is running away from her husband Paul, a rich industrialist. She is unhappy in her marriage and feels that her husband no longer appreciates her. She is accompanied by her new love, Marc Champselle, a suave gigolo who genuinely loves her as well. She's left a note for her husband at home and the delay allows him to get wind of her plans and return to the airport to confront her. For businessman Les Mangrum, he's going to New York to stave off the take over of his company. It's essential that he attend the Board meeting later that day but a cheque he's written may be his downfall. His secretary, Miss Mead, finds a solution when she comes across Paul Andros in the hotel lobby. For movie producer Max Buda, getting out of England has to do with money - if he isn't out of the country by midnight, he will owe the British taxman a hefty sum. For the Duchess of Brighton, traveling to the USA is all about earning money to save her manor house and property. She's never flown before but the chance meeting with Max Buda provides her with a solution to her problems. |

Paul Andros: Pay no attention. Drunks cry very easily. It's only the whiskey. Frances Andros: I know it is foolishly sentimental to want to sit next to the man that you are eloping with. Frances Andros: For most of those thirteen years I've loved him. But I don't know him. Marc Champselle: You? Why should you be scared of him? Frances Andros: As a child I was scared of the dark. Max Buda: [they are playing cards, watched by a reporter] Not that one. *That* one! Gloria Gritti: How do you know what is in my hand? Max Buda: Because I know what is in your head. Gloria Gritti: So, I have nothing in my head. Max Buda: [to the reporter] Don't quote that. The Duchess of Brighton: [waiting for the plane to take off] I have two enormous pills to steady me down and the two pep-pills I took this morning - the pep-up pills. I'm flying already! Frances Andros: You so much want looking after. And I so much want to look after you. Frances Andros: That is what I love you for. That I can make fun of you. Frances Andros: I love you for what you are. Not what you think you are. Marc Champselle: "No" is not a word that I recognise. Frances Andros: You've recognised it for the past three months. |
