In the 1965 film That Funny Feeling, Joan (Sandra Dee) attempts to cook duck à l'orange for Tom (Bobby Darin), after he tells her it's his favorite dish. She and her roommate Audrey (Nita Talbot), successfully cook it until Audrey's lit cigarette sets the alcohol-soaked duck on fire. Joan ends up having to order one from a restaurant and tries to pass it off as her own.
