One of six unsuccessful scripts selected for Day by her ailing husband, producer Melcher, in the last years of his life...
if you can get past that awful title, the G-rated 1968 film turns out to be a cheerful story about the difficulties of mid-life romance...
Is this movie as stupid as the title sounds? Yes, it is. This is one of those movies with a huge family and a lot of predictable stupid jokes that you get before they give them. It has a few good moments, but overall it's really average fare.

Always heard a lot about Doris Day but had never seen any of her movies, so I watched this one not long ago. Not a bad movie about two sides of a family blending and then having marital problems along with step-sibling rivalries. I can see where everyone says it was a precursor to The Brady Bunch.
