Since tonight's the Oscars(which I will NOT be watching), I thought it'd be good for today's feature to reflect a relatively more innocent time period in Hollywood history. "It's a Great Feeling" concerns comedy team Jack Carson and Dennis Morgan(WB's version of Bob Hope and Bing Crosby)'s attempt to make a picture starring a beautiful studio commissary waitress(a radiant and beautiful Doris Day who is hilarious in what was only her 3rd movie role). Features several cameos from stars of the time period including Ronald Reagan, his first wife Jane Wyman and their daughter Maureen. Good, clean old-fashioned comedy fun.

I don't remember this one.

Hey, what's with Doris’s skirt, lol.

Yep. Doris was predating Marilyn Monroe’s 7 Year Itch moment by 6 years.

I think it’s one of Doris’ funnier of her early films. The star cameos by Gary Cooper, Edward G. Robinson and Joan Crawford when they literally spoof their own onscreen personas are hilarious.
