Female Comedy Performance | 1968 | Doris
Box Office Collection 7,988,000 USD
There appears to be a rights issue tied up with the issuing of this film. While it was a television staple for many years and was released on videocassette several decades ago, it has not been televised or released in digital format since that time. As of 2018, the film has been out of circulation for nearly 25 years.
Doris Day's character in this film, Maggie Garrison, is an actress constantly being typecast as a virginal heroine (the title of her current Broadway show is The Constant Virgin), and was meant to be a parody of Day's own squeaky-clean screen image.
Doris Day wrote in her 1975 autobiography, that this was one of the films she did not want to do, but was forced into it, because her husband and manager Martin Melcher, had power of attorney, and signed her up for it, without her knowledge or consent. She called this "an alleged comedy", of which she didn't remember very much, because she was in severe pain, on medication, and spent all of her time off-camera, in traction.
In her autobiography, Doris Day wrote that this was one of her least favorite films, also citing The Ballad of Josie (1967), Caprice (1967), and Do Not Disturb (1965) - all films, to which her husband, Martin Melcher, signed her, without her consent.
Along with Remains to Be Seen (1953), Flame and the Flesh (1954) and The Subterraneans (1960), this is one of very few films from the mid-century MGM library that appears to be lost, outside of privately circulated, poorly reproduced bootleg copies.
"Margaret Garrison: [repeated line] Margaret Garrison: Hello Peter, so you're here!"
"Ladislaus Walichek: If I could only break up that revolting marriage. Oh, how I hate men! Dr. Dudley Caldwell: I thought you hated women? Ladislaus Walichek: Oh, men too. Ladislaus Walichek: [thinking about what he just said] Doctor, does hate for both sexes make me... bisexual?"
