That Funny Feeling
- August 25, 1965 (1965-08-25) (US)
That Funny Feeling is a 1965 American romantic comedy film directed by Richard Thorpe and starring Sandra Dee, Bobby Darin, and Donald O'Connor.
This was the third film pairing of Dee and then-husband Darin, following 1961's Come September and 1962's If a Man Answers. It was the second film that O'Connor and Kathleen Freeman (who played a lady waiting to use a telephone booth) made together, the first being Singin' in the Rain.
Plot
Joan Howell intends to be an actress, but for now she's working as a maid.
On three different occasions, she and Tom Milford - a successful publishing executive, and womanizer - accidentally bump into each other. The third time, Tom asks her for a date.
Ashamed of her own modest home, which she shares with her aspiring-actress friend Audrey, Joan invites him to the lavish apartment of one of her clients - whom she believes is out of town for a couple of weeks - pretending it's hers. What she doesn't know, because she and her employer have never met, is that the apartment is Tom's.
He's shocked to find himself being welcomed to his own place. To see how far Joan's prepared to go, Tom moves in with his pal Harvey - who has his own concerns about Joan to do with his acrimonious divorce and property he's 'hiding' from his wife at Tom's place - and goes along with her ruse. As soon as Joan becomes aware of the truth, however, she gets even by inviting all Tom's previous conquests, dressed as prostitutes, to a party which the cops promptly raid.
In the police van on the way to the station, Tom proposes to Joan and Audrey flirts with a receptive Harvey.
