    • Trivia
      The movie that Ellen (Doris Day) describes to Bianca (Polly Bergen) while giving her a massage is My Favorite Wife (1940), of which this is a remake.
    • Goofs
      When Ellen is in the hotel room with Nick, her wig changes in mid-scene. Obviously, the scene was shot more than once with different hair and then spliced together.
    • Quotes

      Bianca Steele: Your Honor, may I please have your permission to get out of here before I explode?

      Judge Bryson: I'd like to go home myself. I'd like to tell my wife about this. She thinks all my cases are dull. This one's a doozy.

    Doris Day lovers will love this one!

    No, it's not the most hilarious movie you've ever seen. But there is something magical about Move Over, Darling. No one could ever get mad like Doris Day and boy does she shine in this movie as usual. It's a fun film that anyone can enjoy if they don't think too hard and just sit back and relax. The added bonus is seeing James Garner flashing that million dollar smile and of course, Thelma Ritter who was always a riot in any movie she was in. Doris Day lovers need to add this to their collection.
