action
Attorney Nick Arden's wife has been missing since a joint plane crash while he survived. After five years, Nick wants to marry his fiancée Bianca Steele. Nick has his missing wife, Ellen, pronounced dead. After the wedding, the newly wed couple want to go on their honeymoon in Monterey.
But on the wedding day of all things, Ellen, who was believed to be dead, reappears in a marine submarine that she found on a desert island. Nick is desperate because he still loves Ellen but doesn't know how to teach Bianca that. Ellen is initially dejected, but is informed by her mother-in-law, Grace, that the couple's honeymoon has not yet begun. So she does everything she can to take out the unsuspecting Bianca. Nick finally clarifies the situation with Bianca, but then it turns out that Ellen spent the five years on the desert island with another man.
background
The film is a remake of the 1940 screwball comedy My Favorite Wife, starring Irene Dunne and Cary Grant . The subject of the film alludes to Alfred Tennyson's poem about the shipwrecked sailor Enoch Arden, while the main character Ellen Wagstaff Arden was named as homage to the poet. Doris Day mentions the first filming with Grant and Dunne in one scene. In the German dubbed version is not the name of this country quite unknown Irene Dunne, but falls in this context, however, that of Grace Kelly , the then-moviegoers not least through its cooperation with Cary Grant in Hitchcock film To Catch a Thief About was a term .
Originally, Eine zu viel im Bett was supposed to be shot in 1962 under the title Something's Got to Give . The main roles were Marilyn Monroe and Dean Martin . Directed should George Cukor lead. This film was never completed because of Monroe's death and only a few scenes remain. The set from Something's Got to Give was partly used for the filming of Eine zuviel im Bett . In particular, the swimming pool in which Marilyn Monroe was seen naked is recognizable.
James Garner accidentally broke a rib during the Doris Day massage scene while pulling her away from Polly Bergen. Garner didn't realize what he'd done to Day until the next day, when he put his arm around her and felt the bandage.
The title song of the film was also called Move over, Darling and was sung by Doris Day herself and produced by her son Terry Melcher in the newly popular soul style. In the British charts, Doris Day reached number 8 with this song in 1964.
Reviews
The lexicon of international films described Eine zu viel in bed as an "[s] entimental, gossip-like Hollywood comedy" in which only "mutual jealousies [...] could delay the natural happy ending". For Prisma, it was an “entertaining comedy” in which Doris Day “caused a stir with her surprising appearance”. She does this with "wit and whistle".
Adolf Heinzlmeier and Berndt Schulz spoke of a “spirited day spectacle” in which Edgar Buchanan was “outstanding” in the role of the insecure judge. The film deserves 2½ stars and is therefore "above average". The Wiesbaden film evaluation agency awarded the production the rating “valuable”.
