Trivia
The ad agency's viewing room has both color and black-and-white televisions side by side. This was common in the 1960s, allowing the executives to see how the commercial would appear in both color and B&W.

Goofs
When the Boyers are being driven to the Fraleighs' home, the limo driver looks at them in the rear view mirror, but the image is not reversed. Mrs. Boyer is still on the right of Dr. Boyer.

Quotes
Cabbie: To err is human, to forgive is humaner!

Crazy credits
The credit for David Webb's Jewels is followed with "Cameos by Carl Reiner". (A cameo being a form of jewelry, but in this case substituting as Reiner's credit for his series of appearances within the film.)

Undated Romantic Comedy

One of my favorite Doris Day movies with James Garner, her OB doctor husband; but the funniest scenes of all was when Arlene Francis, who plays an older woman having her first child in a taxi cab because of a traffic jam, and her hubby is running all over the place. It is still an undated romantic comedy with some great one-liners. Doris gets bored with home life and becomes a superstar TV commercial for soap products; still this is one of her best because the writers were the best; Larry Gelbart and Rob Reiner 7/10
