Boy, Did I Get a Wrong Number! is a 1966 American DeLuxe Color comedy film directed by George Marshall and starring Bob Hope, Elke Sommer and Phyllis Diller. It was written by George Kennett, Albert E. Lewin and Burt Styler from a story by George Beck.

Contents

This film was the first of three film collaborations for Hope and Diller, and was followed by Eight on the Lam (1967) and The Private Navy of Sgt. O'Farrell (1968). [2]

Plot

Gorgeous French actress Didi has become more famous for commercials involving bubble baths than for acting. Fed up with the situation, she winds up running away for a while to Oregon, where she encounters middle-aged married realtor Tom Meade who agrees to secretly assist her and thereby becomes enmeshed in various complications when he and his wacky housekeeper try to hide her from being found by his wife and by the public.

Cast

Production

The film was Bob Hope's second with Edward Small. [3] Filming started in October 1965. [4] It marked Phyllis Diller's film debut as a lead – she signed for five more pictures with Hope. [5]

Reception

With Bob Hope's film career on the downswing by the '60s, Boy, Did I Get a Wrong Number! was critically panned and compared to a "90-minute TV sitcom". [6]

The critic for The New York Times drew parallels with Up in Mabel's Room which Edward Small had made twenty years previously. [7] Reviews were poor. [8] However it performed well at the box office.[ citation needed ]Boy, Did I Get a Wrong Number! was listed in the 1978 book The Fifty Worst Films of All Time .
