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.

Its A Great Feeling is less than great, but ranks as good entertainment of a painless sort.

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.

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!

It's an... okay feeling. Lots of nice classic Hollywood cameos, but otherwise pretty unremarkable.

This movie is hysterically funny! Jack Carson and Dennis Morgan play themselves, making jabs at each other throughout. Doris Day is a delight. Great songs, fine production and lots of inside jokes. The guest cameo stars are impressive. The scene with Joan Crawford is particularly memorable. It is just great to see Hollywood stars make fun of themselves and the industry. Excellent writing, I enjoyed this tremendously.
