    • Trivia
      Robert Vaughn: briefly appears in his central role of "Napoleon Solo" from The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (1964) at the party, with a snatch of that show's theme music on the soundtrack. The same music is heard when Homer Cripps goes undercover in drag. Theodore Marcuse played three different guest characters on that show. Dom DeLuise appeared on the spin-off The Danish Blue Affair (1966).
    • Goofs
      Wires are visible in both scenes set in the NASA anti-gravity chamber; first on the test astronaut, and also when Jennifer accidentally enters the room.

      Edgar Hill: I want to talk to you a minute. Those phone calls, there is no question about it. She's an agent, operating for the...

      Bruce Templeton: She's no more an agent than you are! And if you're the best the CIA can come up with, this country is in big trouble!

      Edgar Hill: Now, look here! We'll have to detain her.

      Bruce Templeton: Mrs. Nelson can leave here whenever she wishes!

      Edgar Hill: What's that noise?

      Bruce Templeton: What? Oh, well, I locked her in the closet.

    The BEST of the DD films of the 60s!

    Simply the best of the Doris Day comedies of the 60s. Rod Taylor is handsome and romantic, Paul Lynde and Dom DeLuise are riotously funny as spies gone goofy. Lynde is especially effective in "in satin". Doris Day is, well, on top of her game as the charming, virtuous, innocent and freckle-faced heroine--but lookout when she gets her revenge! The finale is hilarious and even more risqué than was usual for the sex farces of the sixties.

    Probably my favourite DD movie! I know the pairing with Rock Hudson is better known from the period, (Pillow Talk) but this one with Rod Taylor as her leading man has an extra edge of spoofy comedy that makes it stand out among the rest.
