March 14[edit]

Name of a B movie comedy about about an air hostess/stewardess[edit]

I can't remember the film's name. The plot is about a frustated chubby brunnette (wearing glasses) who is envious of her blonde high school colleague who she thinks is a Concorde air hostess but (as is later revealed) is actually a prostitute/call girl. The only thing the chubby girl is proud of is that she was the only person in her class to know the answer to the question: "What was mankind's most important invention?". She answered "The Fire" Mdob (talk) 20:01, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not much to go on. Best I could come up with is Stewardess School. (At least we learn what happened to Ralph Malph after he got out of high school.) Clarityfiend (talk) 00:21, 15 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, not much to go on, but that looks like a really good suggestion. User:Mdob, if that's not your movie, we're going to need some more info. Do we have an idea of the year? Is it American? Comedy/drama/thriller? Matt Deres (talk) 03:36, 15 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Shirley Valentine (film). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.38.221.49 (talk) 10:03, 15 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, unsigned user, you nailed it. It's Shirley Valentine indeed. As it tuned out i made some mistakes:

The main actress Pauline Collins doesn't wear glasses, altough she is (somewhat) chubby. (I may have confused her with Ugly Betty or something).
It's not a B movie but an award winning film based on a play.

Thank you all ♥Clarityfiend ♥Matt Deres ♥unsigned user
