I've seen Nancy Dussault on a variety of TV shows over the years, though her name is heardly a household one. But apparently, some important folks thought she was very talented and could anchor a weekly series, as Carl Reiner directed the show. But the network never approved the pilot as a weekly series.
Nancy plays a kooky understudy for some Broadway show. I say kooky because after dating a doctor for 2 1/2 years, she meets some guy and marries him the same day!! So, because of this, she's excited...but also excited because the leading lady in the play is sick and it's her big chance to star in the show. After the show is over, she'll have to break it to her old boyfriend.
The show has some singing and dancing to show off Dussault's skills though it's mostly a sit-com. My aunt watched it with me and laughed a few times...but also felt, as I did, that the show was weak and she could undertand it not being a TV series. My problem with it was chemistry...and perhaps given a few episodes they could have worked this out.
By the way, the IMDB page is missing a lot of info and a few of the supporting actors also in the program are Burt Mustin (who is excellent as usual), Noam Pitlik (a very familiar face...and also a guy who directed a lot of familiar TV shows), John Byner and Rip Taylor.
By the way, it's not important but I was suprised that a few scenes were not re-shot, as Nancy's ladyfriend had a minor dressing mishap...with a missing button or severely gaping shirt. It's pretty obvious.
