- TriviaIn her autobiography, Doris Day wrote that this was one of her least-favorite films, also citing The Ballad of Josie (1967), Do Not Disturb (1965), and Where Were You When the Lights Went Out? (1968)--all films to which her husband/manager Martin Melcher signed her without her consent.

Patricia Foster: That phone is making me very nervous.
Christopher White: It is making me nervous too. Let me take you away from all this. I also have a room with no phone.
- Crazy creditsEach screen of the opening credits is presented uniquely. The names of the leads appear in speech/thought bubbles of an extra. One page appears gradually as a walkie-talkie's antenna extends. Others fade in, slide in, are pulled from behind walls, appear with different clipart, etc.

Industrial Espionage, Double Agents, Secret Formulas and Murder
While skiing an Interpol agent is shot and killed in the Alps of Switzerland. Not long afterward, "Patricia Foster" (Doris Day) is caught red-handed trying to sell industrial secrets from the cosmetics firm she is employed with to a rival company. She is immediately terminated and subsequently hired by the rival American firm to become an industrial designer for them. This results in her working with a man named "Christopher White" (Richard Harris) who is actually a secret agent employed by the same firm that initially fired Patricia. Or so it all seems. What follows is a complicated story involving industrial espionage, double agents, secret formulas and murder. Anyway, as I said before this is a complicated story and in order to fully understand it a person has to see this movie all the way to the end. Along with that I think a person needs to take into consideration the fact that this movie was filmed in 1967 and as a result some of the action may seem rather basic by today's standards. Likewise some of the humor may seem a bit tame as well. Even so, although some of it seems quite mild it was an enjoyable movie for the most part. Doris Day and Richard Harris do a decent enough job and Irene Tsu (as "Su Ling") looks quite nice even if her role was somewhat limited. All things considered then, I rate this as about average.
