Review

A star rating of 3 out of 5.

Tony Sloman

A dig at the world of advertising featuring Doris Day, reuniting her with her Pillow Talk co-star Rock Hudson. This ultra-glossy romantic comedy is very much of its period, but the idea of Madison Avenue executives marketing a nonexistent product (called VIP) remains a good one, and the anti-advertising jokes are still funny. Day and Hudson get fine comic back-up from Tony Randall as the indecisive agency boss, Edie Adams as a chorus girl and Jack Kruschen as the "inventor" of the non-product. Stanley Shapiro and Paul Henning's script was Oscar-nominated, though the finale (watch and wince) is astoundingly tasteless.
