⭐ Featured Review

A bright, sweet Doris Day confection for her fans.
by ipra2006-01-04
8/10

"Although made in 1960, this classic sampling of Doris Day fluff is more a product of the 50s than the coming decade of the 60s. As ever, Miss Day is gorgeous and perfectly turned out, this time the mother of four small boys, an aspiring playwright overshadowed by her theater critic husband, coping with a series of domestic crises while she attempts to move her family from a city apartment to an improbably ramshackle English-style country house. 'Improbable' is indeed the word for the entire plot of this movie, but then probability was seldom the reason we went to the movies in the 50..."

💡 Did You Know?

The musical number Kate rehearses for the amateur show, "Any Way The Wind Blows," had been written for Doris Day's previous film Pillow Talk (1959). The song title was, for a while, even the working title of that film.
