She "borrows" his Apartment - then steals his Heart!
|
Joan Howell, a young and pretty maid-for-hire, meets and begins dating wealthy New York City businessman Tom Milford. Embarrassed about bringing him back to her tiny apartment that she shares with her roommate Audrey, Joan brings Tom over to a fancy apartment that she cleans on a daily basis not knowing that it's his place. Tom plays along with the charade despite not knowing who Joan really is, while she tries to tidy up Tom's place not knowing who he really is.
What a fun movie! This was the first movie I've seen starring these two, Sandra Dee and Bobby Darin, but not only will it not be the last, I also had my parents watch it with me the very next day. That Funny Feeling is a cute, feel good, funny, romantic comedy, the kind they just can't make anymore.
At times viewers will get a Doris Day / Rock Hudson if-they-were-younger kind of vibe but the movie is truly enjoyable with the actors in it. In fact, Donald O'Connor as Harvey, and especially Nita Talbot as Audrey, provide their own supporting humor. Nita is so hysterically funny that, at times, I almost forgot the main characters and focused on her. If you are like me and watch a lot of classic movies you'll recognize a number of minor characters scattered throughout the film. It was kind fun just looking for them and trying to remember what other films I've seen them in. That Funny Feeling is the kind of goofy romantic comedy that is fun to watch anytime, when it's too cold to go outside or, like now, when it's too hot to do anything. If you want to relax to funny movie with a wonderful happy ending this one would make a great choice.
