Please Don't Eat the Daisies (1960)

Lawrence Mackay (David Niven), a professor at Columbia University, lives happily with his wife, Kate (Doris Day), and their three children. But when he leaves his career in education to become a theater critic, his newfound celebrity causes problems with both his friends and family. A scathing review upsets a close friend, and Kate becomes jealous when his work keeps him out late feting with Broadway stars, including the particularly flirtatious Deborah Vaughn (Janis Paige).
