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Gerald's refusal to accept that Beverly's new career infringes on her duties as housewife is, of course, outdated thinking today.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

Excellent Classic comedy! I truly enjoyed it but with Doris Day and James Garner how can you go wrong.
Rating: - The Thrill of It All
Another excellent movie with two good performers. No shoot-em-up, bang-bang or violence to captivate an audience necessary. Nor sex or swearing to get a top rating or billing. Extremely good movie. And we won't have to screen it for our grandchildren to watch.

- The Thrill Is Gone
Doris Day was one of the top ten box office draws in the world throughout the late 1950s and much of the 1960s.Although she was as gifted with a dramatic role as she was with comedy, it is for the latter that she is best recalled--and where Day was concerned such comedies usually relied on a mixture of romantic and screwball comedy levened with a fair amount of farce and plenty of pratfalls.When the movies were good, they were very good, with PILLOW TALK and PLEASE DON'T EAT THE DAISIES case ...

A disappointment for sure. With James Garner in it I thought Doris had a sure hit. Except for a few funny moments the picture was one I'm sure Doris and James would like to forget, I will.
Rating: - The Thrill of it All!
The Thrill of it All! is a romantic comedy starring Doris Day & James Garner. Script is by Carl Reiner with assistance from Larry Gelbart. It's directed by Norman Jewison. The supporting cast is more than able. It's produced by Ross Hunter & Martin Melcher (husband to Ms. Day). With this assemblage of talent one would expect a killer movie. Day & Garner were superb in comedic roles & no less so than here. But the whole thing is lacking SOMETHING! It reminds me of putting together a sports team; you ... Read More
