Product Description
From Amazon.com
James Garner substitutes for Rock Hudson in this hilarious Doris Day outing. Housewife Beverly Boyer (Day) happens by chance to give an executive of Happy Soap an honest appraisal of one of his company's products. Charmed by her forthright and honest manner, he makes Beverly the company spokesperson. When she becomes an advertising sensation, her husband (Garner) has to deal with the social ramifications of his wife making more money than he does. Day and Garner are both in good form, and Garner nicely portrays the mounting frustration of bewildered husband Gerald.
Gerald's refusal to accept that Beverly's new career infringes on her duties as housewife is, of course, outdated thinking today. Nevertheless, the film works and is sincerely funny. No wonder: comedian Carl Reiner cowrote the script. --Mark Savary

2.0 out of 5 stars
so so Doris Day film,
By Beth "bethiejw2" (Mesa, AZ United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Thrill of It All!, the (VHS Tape)
After falling in love with Doris Day's Les Brown recordings, I decided to give her later movies another chance. Before hand I had the impression as many people do of her being a 50's housewife stereotype. Through her big band music I learned otherwise. But this movie didn't help.The first half hour had promise. It had ideas but about half way through and then just threw in whatever it could. It was obvious Rob Reiner who I'm not too fond of ran out of ideas. Doris Day was charming towards the beginning but even she couldn't hold this together. The person who really steals this movie is Kym Karath, the little cutie who later played Gretl in The Sound of the Music. The children's scenes and their observations about their parents are the best moments of the movie. Rock Hudson was lucky not to be in this project. These roles were made for Rock but James does okay. The problem isn't him. It's that his character is so unlikable. For a better Doris Day film of this period see Pillow Talk. It's worthy of her talent.

relies on Doris Day's charm,
This review is from: The Thrill of It All (DVD)
This movie basically relies on Doris Day's charm to make the movie work. James Garner just isn't that charming, he just doesn't have that chemistry that Doris Day used to have with Rock Hudson. I felt that the plot was a little old fashioned. I enjoyed it for what it was but I wouldn't watch it again. It was still a fun movie to watch especially the scene where the whole house fills up with soap suds. That was hilarious.
