Production Notes
Sir Lew Grade wanted to make a comedy film series that would appeal on both sides of the Atlantic starring Millicent Martin. He sent six comedy sketches of Martin to producer Sheldon Leonard and he came up with the premise of From a Bird's Eye View.
Leonard cast Patte Finley from 160 girls he interviewed over a seven month period when he responded to her personality and that at 5'3" she would not dwarf Martin's 5'1".
Martin and Finley both underwent an official training course at the B.E.A. training centre in stewardess's duties including meal presentation, bar service, address system and survival drill.
