A waitress in the Warner Bros. cafeteria, Judy Adams (Doris Day), is picked by actors Jack Carson and Dennis Morgan to star in their next picture. Several problems arise from the decision, though, specifically keeping Adams' true identity a secret by dressing her in various costumes to disguise her from the studio bosses -- and that Carson and Morgan are both falling for her. It's enough to make a small-town girl ditch her Hollywood dreams and go racing back home.

Rare T 10/19/2024 If this movie was bad, it wouldn’t have Doris Day in it, and that goes both ways; as in she wouldn’t show up in a bad picture, and at the same time her presence would better any picture. The quips are actually funny, and let’s not overlook all the cameos, most surprisingly from Joan Crawford. It’s a great feeling indeed. See more byron p 10/15/2022 It's a decent Doris Day movie but isn't one of her best, it's moderately amusing and definitely better than the current 31% audience rating. See more s r @ScottR 04/04/2017 A fun one with a cameos galore. I like all the Wisconsin references. See more 02/22/2011 This movie is full of cameos from big stars. It also is a funny vehicle set for Doris Day!! You get to see Joan Crawford slap Jack Carson and Dennis Morgan and tell them that she does that in all her pictures! See more 12/10/2010 It's an... okay feeling. Lots of nice classic Hollywood cameos, but otherwise pretty unremarkable.
