fstream(...) problem - a fles does not open

[JSA]

I use the code below just to open a text file. the good() always return false.
Please help.

include <iostream>

include <fstream>

include <stdlib.h>

using namespace std;

int main()

{

fstream file1;
file1 open("file.txt", ios::in | ios::out);
if ( !file1.good() ) {
cout << "File is not open" << endl; // this message is ALWAYS displayed
system ("PAUSE");
exit (1);
}

plik.close();
return 0;

}
