Absolutely charming musical romance comedy featuring an amazing debut from Doris Day. A lot of fun and plenty of laughs, though today's audience, or least those around my age (35-40), this will remind you of a plot straight out of a sit-com with the mistaken identity aspect. Still, really entertaini ... ng. **3.75/5**
