Move Over, Darling (1963)
Synopsis: In director Michael
Gordon's Doris Day classic a remake of 1940's My Favorite Wife
the seriously correct blonde stars as a woman who returns from a desert island
to find that her husband James Garner has remarried. Providing perfect support
for Day and Garner are Polly Bergen as the other woman and Chuck
Connors as the hunk who was marooned with Day.
Stealing the show,
however, is the wonderful Thelma Ritter as Day's outspoken mother-in-law. Day's
popularity suffered from the onset of the sexual revolution in the mid-1960s
when her wholesome image seemed out of step with the time, but this film shows
how her great talent has endured. Slick, utterly professional and without a
wasted scene, this is a sheer delight from start to finish.
