When Michael Kent [Don DeFore] cancels his wedding anniversary celebration at the last minute three years in a row, his wife Elvira [Janis Paige] begins to suspect that her wife is having an affair with his flirtatious secretary [Leslie Brooks]. Elvira announces that she will go on the planned cruise after all, but hires nightclub singer Georgia Garrett [Doris Day] to board the ship under her name so that Elvira can spy on her husband. But Michael has now hired detective Peter Virgil [Jack Carson] to keep an eye on his wife during the cruise. This obviously causes some confusion.

A great showcase for Day, whose comedic timing is only surpassed by her versatile musical performances. The song "I'm in love" is certainly not one of the highlights from The American Songbook, but it will go down in history as the song that introduced Doris Day to the film world. In her autobiography, Day made it clear how much she learned from her veteran co-star Jack Carson and the chemistry between the two is one of the main reasons why this colorful, light-hearted musical comedy-of-errors is so entertaining. Top pianist Oscar Levant and the always entertaining Eric Blore contribute to an extremely pleasant little affair.

A fun and entertaining charming romantic comedy, in which two parties spy on each other in the hope of proving adultery.

Doris D once again shows that she has a lot of comedic talent and Carson is well cast as her opponent.

The other roles are less noticeable.
