A very light-hearted "feel good" movie. It is a great one for leaving your troubles behind, sitting back and being pulled into funny, yet often suspenseful situations. Doris Day as a suspected spy coming through as a real trooper fighting back. One of the better Doris Day comedies. Also, the number of famous actors in this movie gives the viewer a historical view on the evolution of true comedic talent.

Doris Day shines while "dressed" as a Mermaid attraction for her Father's Glass Bottom Boat business (Arthur Godfrey) get "caught" by NASA Genius and all around HUNK Rod Taylor.
with this "start" to their relationship it just gets funnier. Doris a Widow comes to work for Nasa and attracts Rod even more who is working on top secret Projects. But Rod makes up a new project to put in "time and romance' with Doris. Toss in Paul Lynde as the ever funny "watchdog" for Rods fictious project, many Guest Starts including Dom DeLuis, Arthur Godfrey, Dick Martin of Rowen and Marten and many more! There are plenty of Spies and Spy "spoofs" on 007 and more very popular in the 1960's. One of the funniest scenes is when a very very UGLY woman (PAUL LYNDE IN DRAG) "SNEAKS" AROUND a party and into the Ladies room attempting to "spy" on Doris who just about everyone except Rod suspects is a spy.
Doris repeats her song "Que Sera Sera" from the Movie The Man Who Knew Too Much ...and this becomes her "theme song." Unlike other Doris movies this one does not drag along it keeps up with plenty of laughs, puns and spy spoof laughs most of the movie. this one has been a hard to find Video for many years and YES you can enjoy it now on DVD!

This DVD version of the 1966 movie was great fun-I had not seen this movie since it was released! The real stars are, of course, Doris Day, and in a very funny supporting role, Paul Lynde.
There are a lot of other well-known stars in this elaborate spy spoof, made at the height of the 60's spy-craze. Day plays a widow who is mistaken for a double agent, while at the same time, having an affair with Rod Taylor, who plays a "rocket scientist" The last 15 minutes are hysterical, with Day being chased by the real spy... Very amusing and entertaining!

The Glass Bottom Boat is about everything that life was about in the 60's. The Cold War was in full swing, James Bond had become a household name and Doris Day was still the top box office actress. With all of this, how could the film go wrong- what could they lose? Doris Day and Rod Taylor had already lost alot in their previous film Do Not Disturb which many have never even heard of unless you are an avid Doris Day fan. All believed including the man responsible for many Jerry Lewis movies, Frank Tashlin that this would be a success. With Tashlin's talent for spoofing the times the world was in, Glass Bottom Boat was just what the doctor ordered.
The film begins by introducing the widowed Jennifer Nelson, played by Doris Day. She works at NASA with a part-time job as a mermaid for her father's Glass Bottom Boat service. When Jennifer gets caught up, literally, she meets Bruce Templeton, played by Rod Taylor. She is not immediately impressed, and thankful that they will never see each other again, or so she thinks.
She soon finds out that she and Bruce are not only co-workers, but worse- he's her boss! She then becomes his personal assistant who makes mysterious phone calls, which the bumbling security guard played by Paul Lynde believes to be to the spy she is working for to get Bruce's top secret GISMO to the Russians. This assumption soon becomes an ultimate security problem, and everyone is out to get her.
Frank Tashlin really does a great job with his characters. Some unforgettable highlights of the film include Dom Deluise as a Public Address Installer (who uses the job as a cover for his real one) who ends up with he and Doris Day covered in banana cream cake and their legs stuck in a trash can, Paul Lynde dressed in drag to get into the women's restroom to see what Jennifer was up to, and finally where Edward Andrews and Dick Martin meet up unexpectedly when they were supposed to be meeting with Jennifer for a twilight rendezvoux.
This really is a film that does not get old. It holds up with some of the other comedy films of today. The acting wasn't Oscar-worthy, but it wasn't intended to be. The movies from this time were intended to be fun and to get your mind off of the serious things going on around the world. For a good laugh, watch this film. It still works 40 years later- it puts a smile on your face and reminds you that things can always be worse!

Fun, fun, fun! A laugh a minute. Just good clean fun that will have the whole family in stitches. Some of my most favorite stars are in this movie. "The Glass Bottom Boat" and "Move Over Darling" are my two all time favorites.
