It's a Great Feeling is a 1949 American musical-comedy film by Warner Bros. Pictures.
It was directed by David Butler and stars Doris Day as a worker in the studio commissary who dreams of becoming a star. When she meets the actors Jack Carson and Dennis Morgan, who play themselves in the film, she experiences an introduction to the "behind-the-scenes" world of a Hollywood movie studio. This was Day's third film, and the first to bring her widespread notice.
Many of the studio's most popular stars and directors make cameo appearances. Among the notable personalities are Errol Flynn, Gary Cooper, Joan Crawford, Michael Curtiz, Edward G. Robinson, Sydney Greenstreet, Danny Kaye, Eleanor Parker, Patricia Neal, Ronald Reagan, Jane Wyman, King Vidor, Raoul Walsh and even Bugs Bunny and Tweety Bird.
The film received a nomination for an Academy Award for Best Song, for the song, "It's a Great Feeling", written by Jule Styne and Sammy Cahn.
