The Glass Bottom Boat

Starring: Doris Day, Rod Taylor, Arthur Godfrey, et al.

Product Description

Doris Day entered her eighth consecutive year as a Top-10 Box-Office Star when she boarded The Glass Bottom Boat, a hilarious blending of romantic comedy and the era's burgeoning spy-movie genre. Day plays Girl Friday Jennifer at a hush-hush aeronautics think tank. When colleagues suspect she's an espionage agent, Jennifer chaotically sets out to clear her name. Looney Tunes alumnus Frank Tashlin directs with a cartoonist's sensibility -- or zany insensibility -- embracing everything from spy guises to push-button chaos in a futuristic kitchen. With top comedians Arthur Godfrey, Paul Lynde, Edward Andrews, John McGiver, Dom DeLuise and Dick Martin in tow, The Glass Bottom Boat is loaded top to bottom with see-through fun.

Customer Reviews

All aboard the glass-bottom boat.

This movie holds special meaning to me. As a child, I spent a lot of time on the island of Catalina. I did everything from going to the Wrigley mansion to going on the glass-bottom boat. That was my first encounter with a flying fish. This movie has many great actors, most of whom later ended up on TV sitcoms. Jennifer Nelson (Doris Day) is a young widow who is working for NASA and, on the side, as a mermaid for her father’s glass-bottom boat excursion business. She is inadvertently snagged by Bruce Templeton (Rod Taylor), one of the major scientists on the space project called G.I.S.M.O. Through a series of mishaps, Doris Day is suspected of being a Mata Hari. The fun begins, and there are spies and counterspies. Some end up in the red room. Can Doris clear herself, or will she just dig in deeper? And who is Vladamir?
