What happens

It's a Great Feeling is a 1949 American Technicolor musical comedy film directed by David Butler and starring Dennis Morgan, Doris Day, and Jack Carson in a parody of what goes on behind the scenes in Hollywood filmmaking. The screenplay by Jack Rose and Mel Shavelson was based on a story by I. A. L. Diamond. The film was produced by Alex Gottlieb and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. It's a Great Feeling was Day's third film (and her third and last pairing with Carson, following Romance on the High Seas and My Dream Is Yours) 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. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
