With Six You Get Eggroll is a 1968 American romantic comedy film directed by Howard Morris and starring Doris Day, Brian Keith, Barbara Hershey, George Carlin, and Pat Carroll.
Her matchmaking sister Maxine (Pat Carroll) tricks her into calling widower Jake Iverson (Brian Keith) and inviting him to the business dinner party Abby is having that night.
Not interested in the trouble his sexy, adultery-minded neighbor Cleo (Elaine Devry) is trying to get him into, Jake arrives at Abby's and is bored by all of the matchmaking dialogue.
Embarrassed by being caught in a fib, Jake meets Abby at a local drive-in run by the wise-cracking Herbie (George Carlin) and the two stay out until 2 am.
A romance develops, much to the chagrin of Jake's teenaged daughter Stacey (Barbara Hershey) and Abby's three sons, Flip, Mitch, and Jason (John Findlater, Jimmy Bracken, and Richard Steele).
The morning after a bedtime argument, Abby drives off in the camper in a rage; Jake is dumped out clad only in boxers and clutching a teddy bear.
[3] The cast includes several actors in small parts (some uncredited) who are much better known for other performances, such as Jamie Farr, William Christopher, Ken Osmond, Allan Melvin, Jackie Joseph, Milton Frome, Vic Tayback, George Carlin, Peter Leeds, Howard Morris, Maudie Prickett and Creed Bratton (part of the singing group The Grass Roots).
(Keith was starring in Family Affair at the time, while Osmond had played the iconic Eddie Haskell in Leave It to Beaver.)
[citation needed] Both of the houses seen in the film are within a block of each other in the suburb of Toluca Lake, which straddles the borders of Los Angeles and Burbank in the San Fernando Valley.
[citation needed] The film's final punchline—a large two-story early-1950s Colonial house shown briefly at the end with a "Sold" sign on it and a front pathway flanked by the McClures' sheepdog and the Iversons' poodle—is also in Toluca Lake, at 10463 Kling Street.
[citation needed] The film's score was composed and conducted by CBS Television and Columbia Records staff arranger/composer Robert Mersey.
