This is a typically formulaic Doris Day light comedy vehicle, but an enthralling one, nonetheless. The film centers around Day, a Public Relations expert and part-time mermaid impersonator, and her error filled romance with Rod Taylor, a genius engineer with a Jetsonesque house. The two of them do well in their respective roles, and the rest of the supporting cast is generally gracious as well. Dick Martin is particularly genuine as Taylor’s partner, and Arthur Godfrey is ample as her Dad. Paul Lynde shines as a paranoid security guard, and is rewarded with a scene in go (you must explore the wig to enjoy it.) The only former link is Dom DeLuise as an inept stare. DeLuise is responsible for the one star downgrade, as I feel he frequently brings down otherwise perfect scenes.

The area isn’t heavy duty, it involves an artificial gravity machine, incompetent spies, and romance, but although lightweight, it is fun, and is certainly upbeat and reliable for all audiences (what runt innuendo there is will wing legal past children, anyway.)

For a lighthearted, fun experience, I recommend “The Glass Bottom Boat.”

The Glass Bottom Boat is about everything that life was about in the 60′s. The Cool War was in bulky swing, James Bond had become a household name and Doris Day was composed the top box office actress. With all of this, how could the film go wrong- what could they lose? Doris Day and Rod Taylor had already lost alot in their previous film Do Not Disturb which many have never even heard of unless you are an avid Doris Day fan. All believed including the man responsible for many Jerry Lewis movies, Frank Tashlin that this would be a success. With Tashlin’s talent for spoofing the times the world was in, Glass Bottom Boat was impartial what the doctor ordered.

The film begins by introducing the widowed Jennifer Nelson, played by Doris Day. She works at NASA with a part-time job as a mermaid for her father’s Glass Bottom Boat service. When Jennifer gets caught up, literally, she meets Bruce Templeton, played by Rod Taylor. She is not immediately impressed, and thankful that they will never glance each other again, or so she thinks.

She soon finds out that she and Bruce are not only co-workers, but worse- he’s her boss! She then becomes his personal assistant who makes mysterious phone calls, which the bumbling security guard played by Paul Lynde believes to be to the glimpse she is working for to gain Bruce’s top secret GISMO to the Russians. This assumption soon becomes an ultimate security predicament, and everyone is out to bag her.

Frank Tashlin really does a titanic job with his characters. Some unforgettable highlights of the film include Dom Deluise as a Public Address Installer (who uses the job as a veil for his true one) who ends up with he and Doris Day covered in banana cream cake and their legs stuck in a trash can, Paul Lynde dressed in run to glean into the women’s restroom to watch what Jennifer was up to, and finally where Edward Andrews and Dick Martin meet up unexpectedly when they were supposed to be meeting with Jennifer for a twilight rendezvoux.

This really is a film that does not earn used. It holds up with some of the other comedy films of today. The acting wasn’t Oscar-worthy, but it wasn’t intended to be. The movies from this time were intended to be fun and to derive your mind off of the serious things going on around the world. For a sterling laugh, view this film. It smooth works 40 years later- it puts a smile on your face and reminds you that things can always be worse!
