The film Move Over, Darling is a romantic comedy released in 1963 and directed by Michael Gordon. It stars Doris Day as Ellen Wagstaff Arden and James Garner as Nicholas Arden.
The story follows Ellen's return after being presumed dead for five years. Upon her arrival in Los Angeles, she discovers that Nicky has remarried and is now on his honeymoon with Bianca Steele (played by Polly Bergen) at the same resort where he and Ellen spent their honeymoon.
Ellen is devastated but decides to try and win Nicky back. She hires a private detective (played by Thelma Ritter) to help her track down Nicky and convince him to give their marriage another chance.
Meanwhile, Bianca becomes suspicious of Nicky's behavior and hires her own private detective (played by Chuck Connors) to investigate. This leads to a series of comedic misunderstandings and mistaken identities.
In the end, Ellen and Nicky are reunited and decide to give their marriage another try. Bianca, who has fallen in love with the private detective she hired, also finds happiness.
Move Over, Darling is a remake of the 1940 film My Favorite Wife, which starred Cary Grant and Irene Dunne. The film received mixed reviews upon its release but has since become a beloved classic and is considered one of Doris Day's most iconic roles.
