She later discovers that Bruce is the big boss at her work (a research lab). Bruce hires Jennifer to be his biographer - only to try and win her affections. However, there's a problem.

    • Trivia
      Robert Vaughn: briefly appears in his central role of "Napoleon Solo" from The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (1964) at the party, with a snatch of that show's theme music on the soundtrack. The same music is heard when Homer Cripps goes undercover in drag. Theodore Marcuse played three different guest characters on that show. Dom DeLuise appeared on the spin-off The Danish Blue Affair (1966).
    • Goofs
      Wires are visible in both scenes set in the NASA anti-gravity chamber; first on the test astronaut and, again, when Jennifer accidentally enters the room.
    • Quotes

      Bruce Templeton: Are you or are you not the girl in the glass bottom boat?

      Jennifer Nelson: I are?

    • Crazy credits
      Opening credits: The events, characters and firms depicted in this photoplay are fictitious. Any similarity to actual persons, living or dead, or to actual firms, is purely coincidental.

    My favourite Doris Day Film
    I was 17 when this film was released and having fallen in love with Doris Day when I was 11, I was first in the queue. It is a wonderful, wacky film of the mid sixties and Doris Day and Rod Taylor are perfectly matched. The story is a simple case of mistaken identity when Doris is mistaken for a spy at the space centre where she works and Rod Taylor is a scientist. The glass bottom boat of the title is run by her father and provides a seperate focus for the story. The title song and Que Sera Sera are beautifully performed and do not detract from the comedy element of the film. I am submitting this today as I have just seen the film again on TV and it has lost none of its charm.
