With Six You get Eggroll

With Six You get Eggroll is the 1968 American romantic comedy film directed by Howard Morris & starring Doris Day, Brian Keith, Barbara Hershey, George Carlin, as well as Pat Carroll. It was the number one film that was introduced by a CBS Television Network's film unit, Cinema Center Films, and Day'sfilm performance.

The denomination of the movie comes from a scene where the family goes out for Chinese food, and one of the kids notices that because they are a large group, they get something extra: "With six you get eggroll!"

Release

After its release, the film went on to gross $10,095,200 at the box office according to Variety and the box office website The Numbers, creating it one of the top ten moneymaking films of Day's 39-film career.

Variety said it earned $4.5 million in theatrical rentals in the US and Canada.

Upon its theatrical release, Vincent Canby of The New York Times wrote: "The latest chapter in the continuing adventures of the Widow Day… was portrayed by Cinema Center Films, a subsidiary of the Columbia Broadcasting System… I kept wondering how the characters played by Miss Day lose their husbands. Cancer? Suicide? Auto accident? There's never any hint. There are, however, some hints of the very real comic talent that has, over the years, become hermetically sealed inside a lacquered personality."
