(More customer reviews)It's November 9th,1965 and New York is having one of its largest power failures. Well, anyone who has ever been in a blackout knows the stress and confusion it can cause. Doris Day plays Margaret Garrisson, an actress with the reputation of being a good girl. Her husband, Peter Garrison (played by Patrick O'Neal), is disappointed that this reputation is starting to become a reality in their marriage. When Margaret comes home after her Broadway show has been canceled due to the power outage, she is shocked by what she finds: her husband and a reporter she had entrusted him with, in a romantic candle-lit state. Margaret storms off into the pitch black night and manages to make it to their second home where she drinks quite a bit of sleeping aid and passes out. When Margaret awakes, she is greeted by a man she has never seen before, and whom she may have had some illicit affair with. That doesn't sound like a good girl to me. And boy, what a mess this causes! Her husband is outraged to find his wife with another man (Now if that isn't the kettle calling the teapot black!); her agent (played by Terry Thomas) fears that Margaret may be thinking of quitting her acting career; and poor Mr.Walichek, how will he get paid? And what about the briefcase filled with several million dollars? It's a big ball of confusion and straightening this mess out is not going to be easy. Robert Morse plays Waldo Zane (you'll remember him as the wacky advisor in "Guide For The Married Man"), and he adds quite a bit more wackiness this time around. So next time you find yourself home alone on a rainy night with nothing to do, rent this one and be thankful that at least the power is still working.
