The plot in a nutshell has Day lost at sea and returning home to find hubby Garner newly re-wed to Polly Bergen. Thelma Ritter, as Garner's mother, send Day off to stop the honeymoon. Condensing the plot hardly does justice to the dozens of individuals scenes and moments that establish the characters and their relationships with all the sparkle of a bottle of quality champagne. Doris Day is a delight in every scene, despite the sometimes annoying coiffures conjured up by George Masters and some continuity people who appear to have briefly dozed. One would have liked Sydney Guilaroff to design the hairstyles since he showed a wonderful knack with Day's hair in several films. Nevertheless, her chemistry with Garner is sparkling, and whether breaking your heart in scenes with their two young daughters or showing her ageless artistry as a flawless comic actress in scenes with Don Knotts, Chuck Connors or going through a car wash in a convertible, she proves that her ranking as Hollywood's "Queen of Comedy" was well deserved.
