In my opinion this movie is really really really dull except for the last 10 minutes. I love Doris Day and all the other stars in the movie but the story was predictable and the stunts they pulled (a pie in the face & getting a foot caught in a bucket) did not tickle my funny bone. The story centers around Rod Taylor (Bruce Templeton, a scientist in the Space Program) having a romantic interest in Doris Day (Jennifer Nelson, one of his employees). The story plot centers around spies trying to obtain space secrets and Paul Lynde a security guard suspecting Doris of being a spy. Lynde predictably hides in various bushes, around corners, and dresses up in drag (one of the better parts of the movie) while trying to collect some evidence. The real stars of The Glass Bottom Boat are not the stars but Jennifer Nelson's neighbors, The original Gladys Kravitz and hubby from Bewitched, they are hilarious and the only one's who actually caused me to roll in the floor. On a positive note, this movie is a true Time Machine, for 1 hour and 50 minutes your transported back to the turbulent but glorious mid-sixties in Southern California and Catalina Island. The Glass Bottom Boat supporting cast are all icons of their time, Arthur Godfrey, John McGiver, Edward Andrews, Eric Fleming, Dom De Luise, Paul Lynde, and Dick Martin. I'm glad to won a copy for my personal collection because I'm a Doris Day & Paul Lynde fan but The Glass Bottom Boat is not (in my opinion) one of the best work of their careers. Be prepared to laugh very little but enjoy the trip back to the sixties.Read full review
The movie is great! It was received in good time. The video plays well.

I enjoy the old Doris Day movies for the most part. I looked forward to this one also, but after viewing, was disappointed. I enjoy the fun and humor of most of her films, but this one, I my opinion, strayed from funny to ridiculous. One viewing of the movie was more than enough! I will continue to enjoy other films with Doris Day, but not watch this one again.
I thought i was a good movie. But then i like doris day's movies. It's one i've never seen before and sounded good so i thought i would get it. I've only had the chance to watch it once so far . But when nothing else is on tv i'll watch it again .
I like most of Dora Day movies. I prefer her acting with Gary Grant or Rock Hudson. She did a very good job acting in this movie. I am looking for the name of a movie or sitcom Dora day played in and she found ophanges living in her back yard out in the country. She took them in. I can not find it, but I know it exists.
