    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      This was Doris Day's first acting role, and she was extremely naive about how movies were made. She wrote in her autobiography that the first scenes to be filmed would be aboard the cruise ship, and on the first day, she walked onto the sound stage and asked when they would be leaving for the boat. The crew broke up laughing.
    • Goofs
      About an hour into the movie, Georgia and Peter are smoking and talking at the ship's rail. When Georgia (Doris Day) tosses her cigarette "overboard", you can hear it land on the studio floor.
    • Quotes

      Michael Kent: Are you a good detective?

      Peter Virgil: Naturally, why?

      Michael Kent: Where did you do your traning?

      Peter Virgil: In the army. Intelligence G2.

      Michael Kent: Well how are you at the job?

      Peter Virgil: We won the war didn't we?

    • Crazy credits
      The credits is opened by a businessman's hand and each credit has a different tropical and paradise scene.
    • Connections
      Edited into Rabbit Every Monday (1951)
    • Soundtracks
      Put 'em in a Box, Tie 'em with a Ribbon (and Throw 'em in the Deep Blue Sea)

    It's (manufactured) magic
    It's the sort of script that Hollywood would have called a "merry marital mixup" back when, but with a little more stuff on the curveball than usual: A suspects B and B suspects A of infidelity, so A hires C to impersonate A on a cruise, while B hires private detective D to trail A, but D thinks C is A... There are some good lines, and director Curtiz, as was his wont, keeps things moving. Janis Paige is a hoot in a series of increasingly bizarre hats, and the unusual dullness of the Warners leading men (I mean, Don DeFore?) doesn't hurt that much. Doris even manages to look enraptured opposite the slightly snarky Jack Carson, and sings "It's Magic" three times. Even Carson sings, and not badly, though it's a somewhat xenophobic mock-Trinidad specialty number that's embarrassing by today's standards. Doris, in her film debut, is assured and pleasant, and so is the movie, in a studio-manufactured kind of way.
