Move Over, Darling is a 1963 American romantic comedy film directed by Michael Gordon and starring Doris Day, James Garner, and Polly Bergen. It was filmed in DeLuxe Color and CinemaScope, and released by 20th Century Fox. The supporting cast features Thelma Ritter, Fred Clark, Don Knotts, Elliott Reid, and Chuck Connors.
The film is a remake of the 1940 screwball comedy film My Favorite Wife, starring Irene Dunne, Cary Grant, and Gail Patrick. In between these films, an unfinished version, titled Something's Got to Give, began shooting in 1962, directed by George Cukor and starring Marilyn Monroe, Dean Martin, and Cyd Charisse.
Move Over, Darling was chosen as the 1964 Royal Film Performance, and had its UK premiere at the Odeon Leicester Square on February 24, 1964, in the presence of H.R.H. Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.
At the 21st Golden Globe Awards, Day was nominated for Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy but lost to Shirley MacLaine in Irma la Douce.
