It funny, I was thinking of something like this not long ago when I was trying to think up a trivia question, something like: how many times was Doris filmed in the shower? and I remembered those funny shower caps.
I'm just guessing, but I imagine that it must be easier to film somebody with a shower cap on, than have to worry about wet hair.

Re: The Thrill of it All
Now we are talking CHEM-IS-TRY!!! Say that again.
Doris Day responds to James Garner for real and it is a treat to watch. I do wish this movie had been scripted differently but it's ok. I know Ms. Day has said she pretty much maintained the same weight throughout her life, but in this picture it seems to me she is a bit on the thin side. However, it isn't a put off. Her gold sleeveless gown is gorgeous on her figure.
She has some great comedy going on. It's a fun movie to watch.

In the movies... why don't the people wash their hair when they take showers... they wear those shower caps.. it's really bugging me... don't they want clean hair too???
Many women of theat era didn't wash their hair every day. Partly because the hair had to be set and after sitting at the hairdressers for 3 1/2 hrs to have it look perfect, wahsing it defeated the purpose. Personally, I think the hair styles are so much better back then they are today. They at least looked like they had hair.
Also, if you sit at a desk all day and don't get much excersise except a few days a week, why wash your hair every day?

Re: The Thrill of it All
This movie was wonderful. I rated it excellent. I have a few favorite scenes. One is during the shooting of Beverly's first commercial. I love it when she looks down at the director and through clenched teeth says "I haven't" re: using Happy Soap. I also loved the big fight after James Garner drives the car in the pool. Actually, that whole sequence is hysterical.

Re: The Thrill of it All
CUTE movie ... and THANKS for the info about the little girl - I KNEW I knew that face from SOMEWHERE!!!
The kids are both adorable
Agree about the chemistry between James Garner and Doris .. even though I HAVE TO SAY that I liked MOVE OVER DARLING better ... maybe the kinda woman-belongs-at-home-kinda-theme bothers me a tiny little bit. I know - its done in the 50's and such - different times ... but I still keep thinking why she wanted to go back and be just a doctors wife
I know its perfectly right if you wanna be just a housewife and all - to each his own ... but still the movie kinda impacts that its the only way to go. Oh well me and my feminin ways *lol* - not taken to serious ... just what I thought while watching the movie.
Its still a fun movie - I loved the scene with the "snow" in the garden .... and him driving his car into the pool and such - and the German housemaid who's German was actually PRETTY bad
Fun to watch .... - but for above reasons I voted it only a good - and I added a "minus" for me

Re: The Thrill of it All
This is definitely one of my very favorite DD comedies. Ranks up there with "Teacher's Pet" and "Lover, Come Back." But I agree, the ending was a disappointment.
Like Irene Dunne done.

Re: The Thrill of it All
This is another excellent performance by Doris Day and James Garner. She just makes me laugh so much. I love it when she says: "Hello, I'm Beverly Boyer and I'm a Pig". Everytime I watch it I just die laughing. She is so beautiful in this movie...well in all her movies but this is good clean fun.

Re: The Thrill of it All
It's difficult to clinically assess a film that you have a deep affection for. It it helps it gets a A+ from me for cheering you up on a wet day, or when you're laid low with the 'flu, etc. Pure unadulterated escapism....

Re: The Thrill of it All
Congratulations Dandy of your first post.
This a a great forum to be on.
The Thrill Of It All is an excellent movie.
One of my favorites. Doris has this ability to make us all laugh. You can watch her movies over and over and still laugh.

Re:
Definitely not. I saw the movie a while ago and most of the time I just yawned and did something else with the movie playing in the background. I did like the scene in the basement though, with the tomatoes. Is it just me or does Doris have a natural curl. I could be wrong but I've seen it in some of her other movies. Maybe they just styled it that way..you never know. I love Hayden Rorke. He was in quite a few movies with Doris.Debbi Austen wrote:It isn't as good as Pillow Talk.

My major detraction from enjoying this film in spite of DD's talent for comedy is the "being a doctor's wife" thing! Very dated even for the 60's.

So true, Rum. Boy, how I hate Beverly's husband, he has such an old-fashioned attitude about women working. That's one of the reasons I don't particularly like this movie.
