| User ReviewDesiree OBruce Templeton: You talkin' to me? Jennifer Nelson: Yes I'm talking to you! That's my suit on your line! Bruce Templeton: Oh I'm sorry... that's a funny looking suit. Jennifer Nelson: It's my mermaid tail. and would you please throw it back? |
| User ReviewJenny FThis is just a feel good movie. Witty. Funny. I just love it. I own it and have watched it many, many times. |
| User ReviewAshley HThis fast and wild James Bond spoof is not the usual Doris Day bedroom comedy of the 60s. It's different in that it has a bevy of talented comic actors in supporting roles, who all have their moments to shine. Paul Lynde in drag is sublime. He looks spectacular in a red bouffant wig and aquamarine satin gown. Lynde and Day have a "powder room" scene that is hilarious slapstick. Alice Pearce recreates her Gladys Kravitz-type character from "Bewitched" and is wonderful. A young Dom DeLuise has a funny scene that he does in pantomime. Dick Martin shows up with some good reaction takes, and great character actor Edward Andrews is in fine blustering form. The stars, Doris and Rod Taylor, are quite appealing, although looking a bit mature for their fluffy romance. |
