Try "The Lady Takes a Flyer" with Jeff Chandler, Lana Turner, and Chuck Connors. I'm pretty sure it's the one you're looking for. Typical schmaltzy, "everything ends well" 50's movie. In real-life, Chandler was reportedly a wife-battering cross-dresser, Turner a raging nymphomaniac, and Connors a closet homosexual.

At least the Connie was real.

Dad was Sgt. Pilot/WWII, flew the Hump, went to AF, then to Capital, then UAL. Finished on the 72, retired around 1977. Fond memories of going to DCA to ck his mail, walk with him in ops room. Good Stuff. When he passed 15 Oct 03, AF gave him 21 gun, full honors, and a missing man with F15Es.
Still remember being at DCA when he taxied in the round motors. You all are the best there is, regardless of all the posts that go sideways. Blue skies to all.

Ok let me add my comment..these are awesome. I spend alot of free time with lots of guys who restore old aircraft, and Ive always had a love of props over jets, and even though I am way to young to have ever ridden one, I think the Connie was the absolute most fabulous bird ever designed. I do however remember lots of flights as a kid on EAL. I cant wait till the restored DC-6 is finished. Did you ever fly with a gentleman named B. Terry. He's retired Eastern.

Chuck Conners wasn't in that movie, but then niether was Jimmy Stewart or a Connie for that matter.

OOOps, my bad. Conners was in that movie!

If that question was directed at me.....I'm not sure. I was only with EAL for a short time and don't remember everyone I flew with. Hey...this was back in the early 1960s, and while I do remember some things.....:)
