That Funny Feeling is so incredibly dated, it could never be remade today, but if you like sex comedies from the 1960s that have absolutely no relevance in the modern era, you'll probably enjoy watching it. And if you like seeing the adorable sparks between Bobby Darin and Sandra Dee, add this one to your list.

Sandra Dee plays a maid who feels ashamed of her lowly station when the wealthy Bobby Darin asks her out on a date. Even right there, the movie's dated. Thanks to Love Story, poor girls don't think twice about going out with rich boys. Bobby and Sandy go out, get along, but when he wants to see her home safely, she panicks and takes him to one of the apartments she cleans! This is 1965, so he just sees her to the door and leaves, by the way. What she doesn't know is that the apartment she's pretending is hers is actually his! It's actually a really cute story and meet-cute, but it's so dated you're going to have to put on your '60s goggles before you watch it.

Of course, there are tons of sex jokes and will-she-or-won't-she situations that were hilarious at the time but now just evoke a chuckle. Bobby's friend and sidekick is Donald O'Connor, and his advice for his bachelor friend is very funny. In my opinion, there's no reason why Pillow Talk has stood the test of time over That Funny Feeling; they both involve dated plots, deception, misidentities, and an endless quest to get the virtuous lady in the bedroom. Give it a try if you like this type of comedy!

That Funny Feeling marked the last film that husband and wife Sandra Dee and Bobby Darin made together. Soon after this they split, but the passion was so strong they never remarried.

I'm thinking that around this time Rock Hudson was getting set to depart from Universal and I'm sure the studio thinking was that Darin and Dee could step right into the shoes of Hudson and Doris Day. Ten years earlier Rock and Doris would have made this film no doubt about it.

Sandra lives in a cracker box apartment with her friend Nita Talbot when she meets man about town Darin. Among other things Dee does to make the rent is clean apartments and she cleans Darin's though she never met him. Not knowing who he is, she pretends that his apartment is her's while Darin is supposed to be away on business.

The business he's on is trying to protect and hide the assets of his boss Donald O'Connor in the Tony Randall role, to wit some modern art paintings, hideous to some, valuable to others from being part of a divorce settlement. After this film gets positively zany in the Rock and Doris tradition.

O'Connor has some of the best lines in the film. I suppose had the Rock&Doris type comedies stayed in vogue O'Connor might have had a second career in these parts. A lot of other familiar faces dot the supporting cast, again like a Rock and Doris flick.

Darin even sings the title song over the credits of That Funny Feeling. What more could you want?

Sandra Dee manages to dress exquisitely and take taxis all around New York City despite working as an out-call maid who has so little money she's forced to live in a cramped hovel with a girl roommate. But no matter. She meets eligible publishing magnate Bobby Darin and temporarily takes over an absentee client's bachelor pad as a front for her residence. The not-so-hilarious catch is: it's Darin's apartment. Tepid bedroom-comedy laden with misunderstandings and innuendo. Dee, making herself to home in Darin's swinging pad, actually manages to find bubble bath in his bathroom, while he--going along with her ruse--impersonates an interior decorator! A few funny moments (Darin, in his boxer shorts, causing a scene outside a pay phone; two nosy bartenders gossiping like sisters on the job) cannot compensate for an extremely thin screenplay by David R. Schwartz (working from Norman Barasch and Carroll Moore's story),which plays like third-rate Hudson & Day. *1/2 from ****
