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. <p> Gerald's refusal to accept that Beverly's new career infringes on her duties as housewife is, of course, outdated thinking today.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. <I>--Mark Savary</I>
Viewer Reviews There are a lot of hilarious inside jokes in this divine comedy.And the filming is done so beautifully, all the colors come alive. There is a genuine chemistry between these two film ledgends (James Garner is so much hotter than Rock Hudson and much more believable to watch when paired with Day).This is the consumate Doris Day romantic comedy, and it's actually funny in a grown up, PG rated kinda way. And it has TONS of bubbles in my favorite scene. What's not to love???
