The Thrill of it All!
Description
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as housewife is, of course, outdated thinking today.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
