Doris Day's Best Work

This is absolutely her best work. With her comic genius of perfect timing and expression, she is coupled with James Garner who is also extremely talented in this regard. As a mother, doctor's wife, and newly discovered slightly klutzy commercial (soap products) star, this is the perfect scenario/blend for the hilarious antics. Add in fun elements like home bottled ketsup and a zany housekeeper, and you have the exact formula for hilarity. My sides ache from laughter each time I watch this, and even my kids love it. It is timeless and absolutely Doris Day's best work.

"Thrilled by the whole movie"

The Thrill of it All is a must have for Doris Day fans. She is one of my favorite stars. and James Garner gives a great performance. You won't be disappointed .

Funny blend of sophisticated humor with slapstick.

The Thrill of it All is relatively funny for an early 1960s comedy, perhaps not one of Doris Days best in every sense, but certainly one of her funniest. The movie pokes fun at TV commercials. Doris Day plays a housewife hired to advertise Happy Soap because of her sincerity. She ends up with a year-long contract and various related funny entanglements. It means lots of money, but also problems, worstly the effect on her marriage. Husband James Garner (Maverick, Cash McCall) is out to get even, providing one of the more originally funny aspects of the film as he f
air. There's a good blend of slapstick with the more sophisticated humor, due to the screenplay by Carl Reiner (Your Show of Shows, Dick Van Dyke, Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid), who also appears as an actor playing 2 or 3 funny characters on the TV show sponsored by Day's soap commercials. The supporting cast also includes Arlene Francis, Edward Andrews (16 Candles), Reginald Owen, and Zasu Pitts.

An Average Doris Day & James Garner Comedy

"The Thrill of it All" is o.k., but kind of meanders a bit due to a lack of focus in the script. I did enjoy the kids & the soap suds scene, however.
