Inclement weather has delayed a flight from London's Heathrow Airport to New York City. A cross-section of elite passengers waits to board the plane as they experience various life crises. Among them are a housewife fleeing a loveless marriage; a duchess who has fallen on hard times; and a filmmaker hoping to avoid paying his taxes.

What are critics saying?
The New York Times by Bosley Crowther
The V.I.P.s is, gratifyingly, a lively, engrossing romantic film cut to the always serviceable pattern of the old multi-character Grand Hotel, and some of the other people in it are even more exciting than the two top stars.
