Simon T Nov 25 This is a dreadful pile of doo-doo. A terrible script, co-written by director Frank Tashlin, and wholly miscast leads: Richard Harris and Doris Day are no Cary Grant/Audrey Hepburn. The costumes are laughably ghastly - Day looks like someone who wouldn't know style from an Anne Summers reject bin. Don't ask about the plot: it's completely incomprehensible. Some nonsense about industrial espionage and hair spray. And De Vol's music score overdoes the musical commentary to teeth-grating effect. Expensive tosh.

I had one of those moments which led me to watching or should I say, enduring this awful movie. As soon as I saw Doris Day in the cast, I should have run a mile. She was very much a singer/actress of her time. I just think of her in all those silly, camp musicals, so I have no excuse for watching Caprice..... which I did. Bizarre miscasting with Day and Richard Harris. Woody Allen would have fitted in far more comfortably to replace Harris while Claudia Cardinale should have played Day. She tries so hard to play the sexy blonde in this production but just looks like someone's mother who has just spent all morning in the hairdressers. All it needed was Dean Martin from the dreadful Matt Helm series to come bursting onto the scene and it would have been complete! This is a truly terrible movie. Anything Day says cannot be taken seriously and the comic-book plot is almost too much to bear. Is the film supposed to be a comedy?? I think not. It's just awful and meaningless and empty. And it's very much a film "you will regret having watched the next morning."

Just one of many bad deals, thrown together by Doris Day's husband/agent. Martin Melcher turned down Mike Nichols' offer for Day to play Mrs. Robinson in The Graduate (1967). Caprice (1967) barely grossed $4 million while The Graduate (1967) topped $100 million. The only reason anyone should watch this film, is if you're a fan of camp.

The costumes are stunning and so is Doris. Enjoy it!! See more 07/30/2015 The continuous double-crossing within the film is the best part of the comedy, the rest of it is pretty much a sickly-romance. Doris Day is looking very aged in this one.
