ABC’s Pan AM debut took us on a ride through the “friendly skies” giving us a look at what Pan Am symbolized from 1920 to 1991. It was a golden age of luxurious air travel when the ladies of the sky were trained to deliver babies as well as fold cocktail napkins for the US’s first international carrier. They globe trotted in fitted pencil skirts designed by Beverly Hills couturier Don Loper. The women that took flight for Pan Am had both beauty and brains. The show, full of drama and intrigue, is based in New York in 1963. In this episode there was romance and espionage plus an historical depiction of the transport of prisoners from Cuba during the Bay of Pigs. The main plot is set on the maiden voyage of the Clipper Majestic from New York to London. Before the flight the stewardesses were weighed and checked to make sure they met the strict Pan Am standards. Flying without wearing a girdle could get you grounded! Producers are trying to hone in on the success of AMC’s drama, Mad Men, but Pan Am shows a different side of the decade. A more optimistic side full of glitz and glamor and globe trotting. Do you think Pan Am will take flight?
