Goofs

In the two scenes where the runaway boat crashes into the beach, the cars around the boat seem to rearrange themselves from shot to shot. A closer look at which car ends up where, reveals, apparently, the wide shot intended for the first scene was mistakenly edited into the second one and vice versa. See more »

The BEST of the DD films of the 60s!
12 August 2004 | by (Canada) – See all my reviews

Simply the best of the Doris Day comedies of the 60s. Rod Taylor is handsome and romantic, Paul Lynde and Dom DeLuise are riotously funny as spies gone goofy. Lynde is especially effective in "in satin". Doris Day is, well, on top of her game as the charming, virtuous, innocent and freckle-faced heroine--but lookout when she gets her revenge! The finale is hilarious and even more risqué than was usual for the sex farces of the sixties.

Probably my favourite DD movie! I know the pairing with Rock Hudson is better known from the period, (Pillow Talk) but this one with Rod Taylor as her leading man has an extra edge of spoofy comedy that makes it stand out among the rest.
