The Glass Bottom Boat (1966 Frank Tashlin)

A terrible title, which has almost nothing at all to do with the film. Film is a relic of a former age - in a few years there'd be nothing like it made. Doris Day looks damned odd in a variety of clown outfits; Rod Taylor his usual breezy self. Paul Lynde (Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie) is the comedy relief. With Arthur Godfrey, John McGiver and Dom DeLuise.

Metrocolor Red supplied by Leon Shamroy.

The robot vacuum is prescient. De Vol's music is certainly not lacking in energy.

All the laughs are in the last fifteen minutes.
