Best Screwball Comedy of the 1960's
26 June 2001
Warning: Spoilers
This is a great screwball family comedy in the traditions of Bringing Up Baby, the Awful Truth and The Egg and I with James Garner marvelous in the Cary Grant role. I'm not particularly big on Doris Day, but she has never been more effective than her unforgettable portrayal of Beverly Boyer, an obstetrician's wife who just can't stay out of trouble. (Best line: I'm Beverly Boyer, and I'm a pig). There are at least five outrageous situations in this charmer that always make me smile. Edward Andrews and Arlene Francis nearly steal the film as a middle-aged couple having a baby while stuck in traffic. If you stumble acrooss this family pleaser, watch it.
