    I noticed that the summary WAY overstated James Dean's presence in the show. If you blink, you could easily miss him and his three seconds of air time don't constitute 'James Dean and John Fortythe star in this' comment. The show was clearly Forsythe's and he did a lovely job in this rather kooky installment of "Studio One".

    Marv (Forsythe) is the owner and pilot for a rinky-dink air cargo service he started. It's a tough job but it's his life. And, when the show begins, he is desperately trying to get some sleep at a hotel but events seem to keep conspiring against this. A newly wed couple next door are arguing and when Marv tries to intervene, he's knocked to the floor! Despite this, some time later when the bride pounds on his door, he allows her to come in and use the bed while he occupies the couch.

    The next morning, this woman is able to twist Marv around her thumb and she convinces him to let her come along for a ride in his cargo plane. What Marv doesn't know is that shorty after, she invites someone else to join her on the plane...and the man ends up being on the run from the law! What's next? Plenty!

    This is a very slight episode and doesn't try to be the intense drama that you'll see in other "Studio One" episodes. This isn't bad, however, as a nice comedy romance, it was a good change of pace. Well worth seeing and cute.
