An extraordinarily funny and heart warming story about Doris Day who gets caught up in a net of lies and is mistakingly taken for a spy of a rival cosmetic company. She is thought of wanting to steal the secret recipe for a water deterrent hair spray and has to find a way out of this mess. On the way she falls in love with an interpol agent who happens to be entangled into the same mess...
Absolutely hillarious, what a pity it is not available on the European market.

Caprice is a film known for a couple of reasons. It was the last film for which Fox used Cinemascope and it's a film that co-star Richard Harris refused to ever watch. It is most notorious for Doris Day fans however, because after reading the script Day told her husband that she was thankful she doesn't have to make movies like this anymore. Her husband though, who was also her manager aswell as her power of attorney, had to tell her she had already been signed up. Despite the lack of love for the film from the main stars, it isn't that bad but I can see why they hate it. Although the comedy elements failed to make me laugh, I did get some enjoyment from the rather silly storyline, but the storyline is so silly, it works against the cheesy elements at times. There are a lot of missed opportunities for making fun of spy movies, especially for a time where the Bond films were starting to make their mark on cinema screens, and none of the cast seem particularly interested. Yet, I couldn't bring myself to dislike the movie. Scenes are generally well shot, it is quite well edited and the music was well selected. It's worth a very low end rental. 2.5/5
