Uptight Carol Templeton (Doris Day) and the slick Jerry Webster (Rock Hudson) work for rival advertising agencies. Carol's pissed that Jerry is using booze and women and other somewhat immoral ways to secure clients, so she goes after him and his business. Add a redheaded southern minx, mistaken identities, lots of terrible hats, and a mystery product called "VIP", and you've got yourself a movie!
Is the plot ridiculous? Absolutely. But it's also a lot of fun. Even though I secretly want Doris Day (or at least her characters) to fall into a deep hole, I enjoy the films they made together because they're goofy, colorful, and campy as hell. Another big reason I enjoy this film is because it co-stars Tony Randall, who I absolutely adore, as Webster's neurotic boss Peter Ramsey.
So give it a go if you're in a silly sixties mood, and don't forget your VIP!
