 skydivers February 14, 2010
C. remus
If you are a skydiver under 50, you will love this movie! The skydiving camerawork
is great. This is real film, not video, at a time when relative work was just
starting.
 I REALLY wanted this film to get five stars March 23, 2009
James D. Crabtree (Fayetteville, North Carolina)
But I couldn't do it. The talent in this film is considerable and the skydiving sequences which were primarily filmed while in free fall were ground-breaking. But the three main plots of the movie and the additional subplots just never seem to jell together. Sure there are breasts in this film, lots of them, but they never seem to make up for the rather confused nature of the film. I was surprised at how slow-paced this film was for a movie about skydiving daredevils. The plot about the Cape is interesting but I never got why they didn't call it a batwing, which is what it was.
Primarily, this movie will be of interest to people who like skydiving scenes. And breasts.
 D851 March 22, 2009
Duane L. Deckert (Clark Fork , Idaho)
D851 was my expert skydiving license number.From a techincal aspect i found it boring.Of all the great movies Burt Lancaster and Deborah KERR made as a team and individually,i felt this was closing the curtin on two GREAT careers.I would have elected to have had retired while on top.
A favorite for fans of skydiving September 15, 2008
David Harris (Sekkenheim, Baden-Wurtenberg, Germany)
I watched this movie after my interest in skydiving turned into more of an obsession than a mere hobby. It is a great movie. It had a lot more sex than I expected from a movie from 1968, but it was approached in a mature and realistic manner. The DVD has a cool documentary called "The Skydivers" that explains the men behind all the awesome freefalling cinematography. It also includes an insightful commentary track from the film's director. Gene Hackman is great in this movie as the hard partying Catholic stuntman. Burt Lancaster is relied as more of a stoic and recognizable force than a heavy-handed performance. See this movie.
The Gypsy Moths August 2, 2008
Super old classic movie. I love Burt Lancaster and Gene Hackman. I used to skydive in my younger days, and this movie tells it like it used to be!
