Synopsis What kind of men make their living by falling out of airplanes? Men like stunt skydivers Mike Rettig and is two partners, that's who. Burt Lancaster (as Rettig), Gene Hackman and Scott Wilson play the threesome who are like moths drawn to the flame of risk... although their passion for it is beginning to fade. Director John Frankenheimer (Ronin) pulls the cinematic rip cord to unleash bravura aerial sequences. And Deborah Kerr, 16 years after being famously swept up in the surf and Lancaster's embrace in From Here To Eternity, plays the neglected Kansas housewife drawn to Rettig's brawny charm. All eyes on the skies. Here come the Gypsy Moths!

Customer Review One of Frankenheimer's best! - 5 out of 5  (9/23/2002) "The Gypsy Moths" (1969), directed by John Frankenheimer, with Burt Lancaster, Deborah Kerr, and Gene Hackman was just released on DVD/VHS by Time/Warner Home Video, and it's fabulous! Three barnstorming skydivers come to a small Kansas town to put on a show one 4th of July weekend. "When the ground comes up at you like a sledgehammer... when the sweat freezes on your brow... when jumping isn't only a way to live, but a way to die, too... you're a Gypsy Moth." Director John Frankenheimer   more >>
