With Six You Get Eggroll (1968) is a family comedy, starring Doris Day and Brian Keith. Other cast members include George Carlin, Jamie Farr, William Christopher, Barbara Hershey, Alice Ghostley and Pat Carroll.
Day plays Abby McClure, a widow who owns a lumberyard and who has three sons. Later, she reconnects with old family friend and widower Jake Iverson (Keith) who has a teenage daughter. They start dating and eventually decide to get married. They're not prepared for the hostile reactions from their children, especially Jake's daughter Stacy, who wants to be the woman of the house, and Abby's oldest son Flip, who hates Jake.
The Grass Roots make a cameo appearance. This was Doris Day's final acting appearance in a feature film, since her TV show The Doris Day Show premiered one month later in September 1968. It is also the acting debut of comedian George Carlin.
After it's late summer release, "With Six You Get Eggroll" went on to gross $ 10,095,200 at the box-office according to Variety, making it one of the top ten moneymaking films of Miss Day's 39 picture career.
