This comedy from the sixties wallows in the cartoonish style that was common to many films of that era. The comic style is silly and filled with slapstick and what one might describe as the most lowbrow variety of humor. Doris Day makes up for some of that with her genuinely lovable characterization.
The plot is designed for gags. Don't expect much in the way of a meaningful romance or real suspense, despite a main plot that involves espionage. Doris gets to sing a few songs, including "Que Sera Sera" (again), but some of the song performances feel like the actors were singing on their own time, and someone decided to splice them in.
Some viewers may enjoy the raft of TV actors throughout the cast, including George Tobias and Alice Pearce, who play a married couple living next door to Doris, just like they live next door to Elizabeth Montgomery in "Bewitched" during the same period.
I consider Doris to be the best part of this film. Dom DeLuise also has some good scenes.
After you see this film, you may ask "Why the title?" I can only say that there were many better titles. You may also ask why the film ends as it does, because it ends with a whimper.
