Doctor, You've Got to Be Kidding! (1967)

In the bustling world of showbiz and corporate life, Heather Halloran, a youthful innocent in her early twenties, struggles under the relentless push of her stage-struck mother, Louise, to take center stage as a professional singer. Despite possessing only modest talent and harboring no desire for the limelight, Heather is thrust into an unexpected journey of self-discovery, love, and music. Leaving the world of music behind, Heather secures a secretarial position under the stern command of Harlan W. Wycliff, a man whose mind operates like a flawless computer, and whose wealth, power, and attractiveness make him confident of his irresistible appeal to his secretaries. Determined to humble her conceited boss, Heather enters into a daring wager with her mother. She accepts Louise's offer of $5,000—money she procured by re-mortgaging her house—to assemble a professional musical act. As Heather navigates the intricate maze of her newfound career, she finds herself the object of affection for three persistent suitors: Dick Bender, a childhood friend and seasoned heartbreaker; Pat Murad, her charismatic yet mercurial singing coach and arranger; and Hank Judson, a shoe salesman with aspirations of acting fame and a penchant for melodramatic death scenes. Amidst this whirlwind, Heather's life takes an unexpected turn—she's pregnant. With Dick, Pat, and Hank, each expressing their love in their unique ways and offering marriage, Heather finds herself at a crossroads. However, she is drawn to only one man, the unsuspecting father of her unborn child. As Heather grapples with her ascending singing career, an unexpected pregnancy, and her tangled love life, she embarks on a journey that will lead her to face her deepest desires and decisions. Will she manage to balance her professional aspirations with her personal life? Only time will tell.
