Three Guys Named Mike (1951)

A new flight attendant (Jane Wyman) for American Airlines finds herself pursued by three men all named Mike: a research scientist (Van Johnson), a pilot (Howard Keel) and an advertising executive (Barry Sullivan). Directed by Charles Walters (THE TENDER TRAP), this is an amiable lighthearted romantic comedy that while not essential viewing, passes the time agreeably. It's not hard to guess who Wyman will end up with. Which of her three leading men was the biggest star at Metro? Wyman's passion and commitment to her profession is admirable but this being the 1950s, love and marriage are her destiny. The film's technical advisor was the stewardess whose adventures were the basis of the screenplay. The movie pleased audiences enough to turn a profit for MGM. With Phyllis Kirk, Jeff Donnell, Barbara Billingsley and Anne Sargent.
