Cute Doris Day Comedy

Doris Day and James Garner had a wonderful chemistry, first-evidenced when Universal paired them in THE THRILL OF IT ALL!, a bubbly romantic comedy about the tenacious power balance between husband and wife.

Beverly Boyer (Doris Day) is a devoted wife and mother who suddenly finds nation-wide fame as the star of the "Happy Soap" TV commercials. Her successful obstetrician husband Gerald (James Garner) finds himself thrust into the position of being "Mr Beverly Boyer" as their marriage and private-life careens into a media frenzy. Can marriage survive life in the spotlight?...

Adorable romantic comedy with Doris Day at the top of her form. The Boyer children are played winningly by Brian Nash and Kim Karath (best-remembered as little Gretl in "The Sound of Music"). The cast also includes Arlene Francis, Elliott Reid, ZaSu Pitts and Edward Andrews. This was one of the first major screenplays by Carl Reiner, following years of solid TV comedy writing.
