Not One of Doris Day's Best Movies
15 December 2015
After his new job requires him to move to London, "Mike Harper" (Rod Taylor) and his wife "Janet" (Doris Day) end up in a large home out in the country. This causes some problems for Mike due to his heavy workload and as a result he also rents a small apartment in London. This causes even further problems when Janet begins to suspect that Mike is having an affair with his assistant, "Claire Hackett" (Maura McGiveney). To rectify this her landlady, "Vanessa Courtwright" (Hermione Baddeley) recommends that she engage in an affair of her own-or at least an imaginary affair in order to make Mike jealous. Although Janet refuses to do this things take on a life of their own when she decides to go to Paris with an interior decorator named "Paul" (Sergio Fantoni) to pick out some badly needed furniture. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that I didn't think this was one of Doris Day's better comedies as it lagged for pretty much the first hour or so. Fortunately, it picked up after that and became somewhat interesting from there. Slightly below average.
