Doris Day is not your common housewife.

Warning: Spoilers
An hilarious comedy directed by Norman Jewison and penned by Carl Reiner and Larry Gelbart. A successful obstetrician Dr. Gerald Boyer(James Garner)has trouble brewing in his suburban household. His attractive, perky wife Beverly(Doris Day)and mother of two, is approached by the Happy Soap Company to hawk their product on television. Her ill at-ease delivery is seen as charming and gains her a $30,000 a year job. The doc is really having a hard time dealing with his wife's new busy schedule. Some amusing situations. My favorite is when the convertible ends up in the new swimming pool. A real fine supporting cast includes: Arlene Francis, Edward Andrews, Elliott Reid, Reginald Owen and Zasu Pitts. THE THRILL OF IT ALL is a little wacky, full of fun and truly wholesome.
