It’s a Great Feeling is a 1949 American Technicolor musical comedy film starring Doris Day, Jack Carson and Dennis Morgan in a parody of what goes on behind the scenes in Hollywood movie making. The screenplay by Jack Rose and Mel Shavelson was based upon a story by I. A. L. Diamond. The film, directed by David Butler, was Day’s third film (and her third pairing with Carson; Romance on the High Seas (1948)), My Dream Is Yours (1949) and the first to bring her widespread notice.

It’s a Great Feeling is a “Who’s Who?” of Hollywood in its heyday and glorified the studio system at the peak of its golden age. It’s really an early example of an all-star cameo cast and a meta-movie, giving way to such future hits as the Ocean’s remakes. Catch it where you can!
