6. Move Over Darling

Year: 1963

Nudity type: CFNF

Catfight: Doris Day def. Polly Bergen in a massage-turned-catfight on a bed.

Doris Day, the perky star of what now is considered rather tame 1960s sex comedies, takes the Irene Dunne role in this remake of My Favorite Wife (1940). As the survivor of beng stranded on a desert island for five years, Day returns home the very day her husband (James Garner) remarried (Bergen). Garner is too afraid to tell his new bride that his old wife is still alive and has come home to renew their relationship. Initially, Day poses as a Swedish masseuse who has helped Garner with his back problem. She offers Bergen a massage and tells her to go take off her clothes. While massaging Bergen, who is clad only in a large towel, on the bed, Day gets angry when Bergen says it does not matter if Garner's first wife wre to come back some day because Garner was all hers now. Angry at the comment, Day, who is wearing a white nurse's outfit, begins to rough up Bergen. Bergen escapes Day's clutches only to have Day chase her and rip off her towel as Bergen flees the room. (If you have a real good DVD or VHS machine you can pause the film and actually see Bergen bare-assed as she flees from Day in that split-second shot). When Bergen reenters the room, she has managed to put on a blue robe to hide her nudity. Day tackles Bergen on the bed and beats her until Garner can pull Day off of Bergen. Trivia: Garner accidentally broke Day's rib while pulling Day off of Bergen. Garner was not aware he had injured Day until the next day, when he felt the bandages while putting his arms around her in another scene.

Photos below include the movie poster, head shots and body shots of Day and Bergen in their prime and several photos from the catfight, including a great shot of Day roughing up Bergen, who really looks stressed from the attack.
