Upcoming Thrill

Speaking of Carl Reiner — as I was, not long ago — American Movie Classics is running The Thrill of It All on Thursday morning. 'Tis a pretty funny movie, written by Larry Gelbart and Mr. Reiner; starring Doris Day, James Garner, Edward Andrews, Zasu Pitts, an array of other wonderful character actors…and Mr. Reiner. It was directed by Norman Jewison, who helmed an amazing number of successful movies. It was produced by Marty Melcher, who was married to Ms. Day and who embezzled every cent she ever made. It's about as good as any of those fluffy sixties comedies.
