It was filmed in DeLuxe Color and CinemaScope, and released by 20th Century Fox. The supporting cast features Thelma Ritter, Fred Clark, Don Knotts, Elliott Reid, and Chuck Connors. The film is a remake of the 1940 screwball comedy film My Favorite Wife, starring Irene Dunne, Cary Grant, and Gail Patrick.

Move Over, Darling was chosen as the 1964 Royal Film Performance, and had its UK premiere at the Odeon Leicester Square on February 24, 1964, in the presence of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. At the 21st Golden Globe Awards, Day was nominated for Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy but lost to Shirley MacLaine in Irma la Douce. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
