Editorial Reviews

The Glass Bottom Boat is hardly a high point in the careers of star Doris Day and director Frank Tashlin, though it is a better-than-usual example of that pure-'60s genre, the "spy spoof." Day plays Jennifer Nelson, a PR worker at NASA in Florida. She also doubles as a "mermaid" for her father, Axel (Arthur Godfrey), the skipper of a glass-bottom tourist boat. While garbed in her skimpy mermaid costume, she has a run-in with handsome space technician Bruce Templeton (Rod Taylor). Through a series of misunderstandings, Bruce is led to believe that Jennifer is an enemy spy, determined to steal scientific secrets. Several other characters enter into the plot, including bumbling secret agent Julius Pritter (Dom DeLuise) and prissy security chief Homer Cripps (Paul Lynde). Also on hand are TV favorites Dick Martin as Jennifer's erstwhile beau and Eric Fleming as a man of mystery. A few cute celebrity cameos round out this ribtickler, while Doris Day, as always, gets a few opportunities to sing. Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

May 04, 2004: I can't believe the negative reviews for this movie and other classic family comedies that the 'Movie Book Review' people write on Barnes website. They must be 'LAUGH-A-PHOBIC'. This movie is such fun for the whole family, clean and innocent. Much better than the non-funny garbage being produced these days. The writers of old had a sense of humor, and could use slap stick to make you fall out of your chairs laughing. I wish the TV stations would air more clean and wholesome fun like this movie, than the empty humorless sitcoms that are 'politically correct' but boring being thrown at us nightly. Sit back and have a good laugh at this one. Paul Lynde and Dick Martin from 'Laugh-in' are super as is Dom De Luise. A true classic, can't wait for the DVD my video is worn out !!
