In 1947, Doris Day began filming for this charming movie. This was her film debut and her first picture for Warner Brothers. What we have here is a married couple that suspects each other of fooling around. When the husband announces he can’t join his wife on a planned ocean cruise she then hires a nightclub singer (Garrett) to masquerade as her on the trip. The wife then stays behind to spy on her husband. Confused? There’s more…hubby then hires a detective (Virgil) to keep an eye on his wife which in reality is the stand in. Thanks to the directing skills of Michael Curtiz the plot moves along smoothly. These improbabilities become rather believable. Honestly!
