JAMES GARNER is a neglected doctor husband of DORIS DAY who dislikes what happens to his married life when she becomes a spokeswoman for a TV ad agency. Writer Carl Reiner wrote the funny script which takes pokes at advertising and TV commercials and marital discord. Both Day and Garner are at home with this type of romantic comedy and they sparkle throughout.
I wasn't particularly fond of the sub-plot involving EDWARD ANDREWS and ARLENE FRANCIS with Francis as a past her prime matron who suddenly becomes a gleeful gal when she finds out she's pregnant. And the scene in a traffic jam as they make a desperate dash for the hospital is a bit overdone, to say the least, but, hey, this was the 1960s and was there ever a Doris Day comedy that wasn't a bit on the over-the-top side? Day, of course, looks glamorous in a series of stunning gowns and Garner was at his handsomest with a full head of dark curly hair and looking very much like the matinée idol he was at that time.
Pleasant enough and good for a few chuckles, but nothing special. But for fans of DORIS DAY and JAMES GARNER, this one is worth a peek.
