First of two pairings of DD & JG, both released this year. The other is Move Over Darling. Both are among my all time favorites. Amazing that they didn't do more; they were as good or better than DD & Rock Hudson.
This one is written by Carl Reiner (story and screenplay) and Larry Gelbart (story), and frequently tickles my humor.
This is very sexist, since it advocates for women to be housewives, but find outside interests to prepare them for when the children are gone (ugh). But the situation of being a soap commercial pitchwoman, and the silly programs between the ads, make for a lot of comedy.
It leaves me smiling, and that's worth a lot.
