Chambre à part

"That Funny Feeling" doesn't by any means test the acting capabilities of Darin, or the glamour of Dee, but it is nonetheless a delightful, funny, and even colorful, film. As a bemused and confused victim of "Joan"'s bizarre method of dealing with an unacceptable home address. There are some great visuals, Darin climbing out of the upstairs window to avoid a confrontation in his own apartment with "Joan", the phone booth scene, the moment when he gets in the cab and in answer to the question, "where to?" simply says, "I don't know." Darin and co-star Sandra Dee look great together - no wonder that happened! And it is always fun to see Donald O'Connor too. I'd have loved to hear more songs from Darin, but the plot just didn't call for them. The title song is a very catchy, though. It is a movie that takes me back to what was best in the '60's - innocent fun and romance with humor and charm.

That Funny Feeling is a delightful, up-beat, cute, funny, and entertaining film. Out-dated for sure, but the movie captures a more innocent time(the early 1960s), when getting a kiss was a big deal. Sandra Dee is at her most beautiful. She was so lovely, so attractive; this role was meant for her. She gives a great performance. Bobby Darren sings the opening song and gives an equally great performance. You can see the sparks fly between these two "real-life" love-birds. Any fan of Sandra or Bobby will enjoy this light-hearted romantic tale.

This is a great movie to watch on a rainy night with someone you are romantically involved with.

I am so tired of violet, sexually explicit movies that if you took out all the bad language there would be no dialogue: this one is a delight. Yes it is silly, but such a nice change of pace.

There is a great deal of tongue and cheek humor from the 50's and 60's that younger generations might not understand, their loss.

It is nice to go back to a kind and gentler time.

I read some of the negative reviews about Sandra Dee, but I could name at least a score of current actresses from the same mold, but jaded by the current definition of talent that are popular but so much worse as actresses.

If you want something light and fun, it this a great film.

Sandra Dee and Bobby Darin, still married in real life at the time, play strangers who accidentally meet at a newsstand. She's a maid who had yet to meet her boss. He's that boss. So when they start dating, he wants to take her home and she ID's his place as that one. I'll stop there and just say the mistaken identity plot has many amusing turns with some pretty hilarious lines from various supporting characters played by some pretty familiar players like Larry Storch, Arte Johnson, and Donald O'Connor who plays Darin's co-worker/boss. The movie is only ninety minutes so there's not too much time to make the plot unbearable So on that note, That Funny Feeling is worth a look.

This movie is fun to watch 60's romantic comedy. Bobby Darin and Sandra Dee play the girl and the boy deceives each other, falls in love, and finds each other's deception before they can confess.

The pattern alone is fun to watch over and over; even today the film industry still tries to recapture the 60's romantic comedies yet falls short.

While we are having fun with the main couple, one cannot help but notice the supporting cast. I will not name them all but they have been seen in many movies and TV programs of that era. There is Donald O'Connor ("The Bell Telephone Hour" .... Host) as Bobby Darin's friend and boss, Nita Talbot ("Hogan's Heroes" .... Marya) as Sandra Dee's roommate and confidant, and Leo G. Carroll ("Topper" .... Cosmo Topper "20 episodes, 1954-1955") as the understanding Irish Pawnbroker.

A great Bobby Darin and Sandra Dee film that transcends this film is "Come September" (1961).
