The Gypsy Moths (1969)

During the 4th of July weekend, a sky diving team known as The Gypsy Moths arrive in a small Kansas town to put on a show. It's the hometown of one (Scott Wilson) of the skydivers and they stay with his Aunt (Deborah Kerr) and Uncle (William Windom). Sexual tension is apparent between the Aunt and another of the skydivers (Burt Lancaster). Based on the novel by James Drought and directed by John Frankenheimer (MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE). Frankenheimer complained that MGM didn't give his movie much of a chance and cut three minutes out of the movie (including Kerr's topless scene) so that it was more family friendly and could play Radio City Music Hall. It bombed and MGM restored the three minutes and Kerr's nude scene but the damage was done and the movie didn't do well. Actually, Kerr is miscast as a smalltown Kansas housewife and sticks out like a fish out of water. The rest of the cast fare better but its spectacular aerial stunts aside, it's a dreary movie. If you want to see a better movie about barnstorming skydivers, stick with Sirk's TARNISHED ANGELS. With Gene Hackman, Bonnie Bedelia, William Windom and Sheree North.
