The Thrill of It All

Norman Jewison directs this 1963 comedy-romance about a contented housewife whose unexpected stardom as the face of a soap brand throws her household into disarray. Brisk and good-natured, it mines the friction between sudden fame, domestic life and shifting marital roles for breezy laughs. The tone is light and satirical, poking gently at advertising, celebrity and mid-century expectations of home and marriage. Holding a MagicMovieScore of 7.0, it is well suited to fans of classic Hollywood screwball-style comedy, vintage romantic farce and warm-hearted studio entertainment that pairs sharp wit with an affectionate look at married life.
