Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Joanna Mccarty Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

moonspinner55 Trio of male sky-divers touring the Midwest prepare for a jump in a small Kansas town, where their benefactor is an unhappily married woman with life regrets. Despite a tag-line that suggests parachutists "turn on" by falling free--as well the appearance of go-go girls in pasties and also a lovemaking scene between Burt Lancaster and a nude Deborah Kerr--"The Gypsy Moths" doesn't have a youthful spirit, nor does it offer its audience much of a lift (everyone is so downcast). This dim, square adaptation of James Drought's novel is rather a condescending portrait of lives in a rural community. The actors have been encouraged by director John Frankenheimer to deliver the melodramatic material with the utmost seriousness, and before long the narrative is grounded (literally and figuratively). Despite being reunited with Lancaster, her "From Here to Eternity" love-interest, Kerr seems misplaced; she's stiff and drably solemn. Lancaster is surprisingly subdued or contemplative, which works to draw the viewer in, and yet his character's fast attachment to Kerr isn't convincing. Aerial footage of the trio's Kansas jump is a long time coming; Frankenheimer is much more interested in pitting man against man, man against woman, wife against husband. It feels about as real as a TV soap opera. ** from ****

JasparLamarCrabb A movie about how people just fall through life (both literally & figuratively). Burt Lancaster, Gene Hackman & Scott Wilson show up in a small town to perform their barnstorming act. While rooming at Wilson's relative's home, Lancaster embarks on an affair with the lady of the house (Deborah Kerr). Kerr is trapped in a loveless marriage to academic William Windom & longs desperately to get out. Lancaster just wants to get out of life! A melancholy film from the great John Frankenheimer. There are many astounding daredevil feats and the acting is fine. However, the movie really is very lifeless and quite frankly more than a little boring. Sheree North provides a brief spark as a party girl picked up by Hackman. There's a great music score by Elmer Bernstein and cinematography by Philip H. Lathrop.

fedor8 Dialog which is a little "off", and a certain kind of pointlessness pervade this film. Lancaster is a suicidal parachutist but we're never told why, nor do we get hints (why he's suicidal, not why he's a parachutist). Kerr's attitude is perplexing, unclear. Half of the time one is either wondering what a particular dialog was about or why a character said something or reacted in a certain way.The aerial sequences are the highlight of the film... Basically, this is a mediocre drama, but whenever one stumbles on a mediocrity and Frankenheimer's name is attached to it – it's never a surprise.What IS surprising, to say the least, is that Le Grande Dame of British Cinema actually shows her breasts! I am referring to Deborah Kerr. This completely threw me away; the absolutely last thing I expected to see in this film was Kerr topless. And now the big question is: how did Frankenheimer convince Kerr - of all actresses - to bare her bosom in 1969?... And at the age of 48?... Did they drug her (like they did with Julie Andrews's character in "S.O.B.")? Or is she really that dumb to be duped by a slime-ball such as Frankenheimer that "it's all for the good of the ART"? Whatever the answer, one thing is for sure: Frankenheimer must have special talents we know nothing of! (Certainly very little directorial talent, but otherwise…) His power of persuasion must be immense. What a diplomat he would make. They should send this guy to the Middle East. Or Kashmir. Or the Balkans. Or East Timor.

pplease Does anyone remember the topless dancer Patty Wright? Today she has crossed over into adult films and goes by the name of Patty Plenty. It is definitely Patty because it was me. I was nearly 20 when the movie came out. John Frankenheimer joined me into SAG and I still pay my dues as Patty Lynn Wright. I went on to be a Las Vegas Showgirl for many years. The movie was filmed mostly around Wichita Kansas where I grew up as a child. I have been a member of Screen Actors Guild for many years. I live now in both Malibu and Hawaii. I hope that I hear from someone that does remember some of the cast that did not get credited. I do have many films but they are rated adult in nature. John was a wonderful man and made as we all know many great films.
