Director: Frank Tashlin
Stars: Doris Day, Rod Taylor, Dom DeLuise, Paul Lynde
Okay, this film had almost nothing to do with glass-bottom boats! It was more about the space program. Bruce (an extremely dreamy Rod Taylor--- um, WOW!) develops a formula for a gravity-simulating machine, and everybody is out to get it!
Bruce meets Jenny (Day) one day when she's playing a mermaid for her father's glass-bottom boat tour business. He's intrigued, to say the least, and is completely shocked to find she works in his office! He does his homework, fidns that she has writing experience, and hires her to write his biography. Of course, this assignment means they must spend a lot of time together, and they fall for each other, of course!
But there's trouble in paradise when the CIA suspects Jenny of being the spy who's out to steal the formula. Jenny finds out about this mix-up, and, furious, she decides to have a little fun at their expense.
This is a cute enough movie, I just don't like comedies that are just TOO ridiculous. Jenny is so clumsy. And anyway, it's a comedy, and I seriously have to remember that things are supposed to go wrong in comedies.
NOTE: Paul Lynde is the guy who played Uncle Arthur in Bewitched! And he was also the voice of Templeton in Charlotte's Web. I still can't hear his voice without thinking of a rat dreaming and singing about a "smorgasbord"! Love him!
