Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn her autobiography, Doris Day wrote that this was one of her least-favorite films, also citing The Ballad of Josie (1967), Do Not Disturb (1965), and Where Were You When the Lights Went Out? (1968)--all films to which her husband/manager Martin Melcher signed her without her consent.
- GoofsWhen Patricia addresses Chris (Richard Harris) as "Richard" during the William Shakespeare scene, she is referring to his impression of Richard Burton.
- Quotes
Patricia Foster: That phone is making me very nervous.
Christopher White: It is making me nervous too. Let me take you away from all this. I also have a room with no phone.
- Crazy creditsEach screen of the opening credits is presented uniquely. The names of the leads appear in speech/thought bubbles of an extra. One page appears gradually as a walkie-talkie's antenna extends. Others fade in, slide in, are pulled from behind walls, appear with different clipart, etc.

Featured review
"The Spy Who Came in From the Cold Cream"
Drug smuggling in the cosmetics industry, with Doris Day and Richard Harris as industrial spies. Wild Frank Tashlin slapstick--funny gadgets, double agents--mixes curiously with serious action sequences involving a sniper; there's also a transvestite reveal (!) and at least one movie in-joke (Day's father, seen in a photograph, is Arthur Godfrey, who played her dad in Tashlin's "The Glass Bottom Boat"). Certainly an odd choice for Day, who later claimed her manager-husband signed her to the project before she could read the script (it was later tailored to her--and very well). She's dryly sarcastic throughout, and very appealing in her scenes with Harris. Incredible Leon Shamroy cinematography, terrific locations, plus a hilarious bit by Michael J. Pollard as a hippie. A strange one, indeed, but fun. *** from ****
