Daily Cinema: That Funny Feeling (1965)
That Funny Feeling is a romantic comedy that stars Sandra Dee as a maid living a double life. Cleaning the apartments of the wealthy enables her to repeatedly bump into a man, whom she takes an interest in. Rather than showing him where she really lives, she pretends one of the apartments that she cleans is hers and invites him over. The problem with that is the apartment she masquerades as her own actually belongs to the man she invited over there, lol. 

I don't think I've seen any Sandra Dee movies before so despite being familiar with her name, I'm not at all familiar with her work. I remember hearing about the pairing of Dee with her then-husband Bobby Darin but I don't recall seeing any of his films either. The premise of this movie sounds like a riot to me and since we've had serious films the past couple of days I thought some change would be good. 

If you're on social media during That Funny Feeling, tag your tweets with #atvdailycinema so I can see them. If you'd like to join the conversation with others watching Sandra Dee's films today, use the tags #DeeTCM or #SUTS. See you tomorrow!
