Terry-Thomas is as splendid as ever in this cheery award-winning comedy set in the early days of air travel. A big reward is on offer to the winner of an air race from London to Paris; Terry-Thomas's dastardly Sir Percival Ware-Armitage is among the pilots trying to prove they are "number one in the air".
