His 'n' Hers
That Funny Feeling. The Boy is Bobby Darin, a singer who cannot distinguish between sex farce and Shindig. The Girl is Sandra Dee (Mrs. Bobby D.), a foremost exponent of the "say cheese" school of acting. The setting is New York, but the fun was fabricated in Hollywood, several light-years away.
This boy -meets -girl -in -Manhattan romp proves conclusively that New York is a summer festival where the bluebird of happiness has solved such problems as air pollution. Sandra, clad in Jean Louis dresses, plays an actress and part-time cleaning woman who disinfects Bobby's bachelor flat every day, never dreaming that he is the same young man she bumps into all around town. Nor does he suspect the identity of his sweepheart. Bobby is a rakehell who keeps a card file of his conquests with horse-racy annotations ("Slow starter but good in the stretch"). His flat is in a smallish Manhattan walk-up with a uniformed bellhop in the hall.
Bobby checks out of town on a business trip, but returns unexpectedly and bumps into her again. Ashamed to admit that she lives in a depressed area (Washington Square, apparently), Sandra lets him escort her "home" to his flat, saying it's hers. The rest is a comedy of confusion involving His harried boss (Donald O'Connor), Her door-slamming roommate (Nita Talbot), some cozy dinners (duck a I'orange) and other misfortunes. Put them all together, they add up to Funny Feeling. Take a couple of aspirins first and it'll hardly be noticed.
