Well on his way to leading man movie stardom, TV favorite James Garner steps into the shoes of Rock Hudson and Cary Grant as Doris Day’s latest partner in her increasingly popular series of glossy, sophisticated comedy vehicles. Dick Van Dyke Show creator Carl Reiner provided the witty script and one of the cleverest trailers to be run on TFH.
