A motley group of passengers are grounded at Heathrow Airport because of fog.
Rid Taylor is a man desperate to keep control of his own company. He plays an Australian and his accent is overdone. Strange since he actually WAS Australian.
Maggie Smith plays Rod Taylors devoted right hand office manager,who is obviously in love with him.
Orson Wells provides comic relief as a film director who needs to get out of the country to establish foreign residency to save on income taxes.
Margaret Rutherford is the true star and main attraction as a Duchess who is flying to America to work as a consultant to earn money to save her home.
Forget about the booze bloated Burtons. They are boring and glide through this post Cleopatra vehicle and their time as tabloid fodder.

I don't think the director knew what the film was about. I know the actors didn't. I sure the heck never figured it out.
This was awful. It was as if a studio said, "We have a few cars n Tracy players left so let's make a cheapo film and get out moneys worth.". That explains George Hamilton and Suzanne Pleashette getting stuck in this. The rest of the cast was dead broke.
There are a few fun scenes. The party scenes are comic relief. The plot and writing are just so lazy. There are some high drama action scenes that seem out of place and unwarranted.
Really, the only reason to watch is to see the auditorium at Culver City High School, one of the filming locations. Cool architecture.

This film has its flaws, but it is a great shot as a mystery thriller. It is stylish and captivating, with an imperfect end.
Peck is always an interesting and compelling lead. The supporting cast do a great job. The standout is Walter Matthau who shows off his potential as a comedy drama star.
Diane Baker is wonderful in this film. It is at the end of her glamour studio contract days. She is absolutely stunning. If anything could prod Peck's memory it would be her.
This film was shot in black and white which made it look dated upon release but now makes it more of a lost classic.
At the end you might consider the plot too contrived, but you won't consider it a waste of time.
