Written by Carl Reiner and Larry Gelbart. Housewife Doris Day starts causing problems for marriage to doctor James Garner by having her own career as a TV commercial persona in dated sixties storyline (she sadly gives it all up at the end). Nevertheless film is more fun than it appears, with mad gags involving a pool full of detergent (and a convertible), funny stuff as the kids predict how the rubbishy TV shows are going to turn out. Reginald Owen is the old soap manufacturer. With Edward Andrews (Avanti), Arlene Francis, Zasu Pitts.
A Ross Hunter-Universal picture photographed by Russell Metty and scored by Frank de Vol, who has a lovely motif - played I think on recorders - for the kids.
Gramercy Park is an upmarket area between the 14th and 23rd Streets to the East of the Flatiron Building.
