With Six You Get Eggroll is a 1968 American romantic comedy film directed by Howard Morris and starring Doris Day, Brian Keith, Barbara Hershey, George Carlin, and Pat Carroll. It was the first film that was produced by the CBS Television Network's film unit, Cinema Center Films, and Day's final film performance (and Carlin's film debut).
The title 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!" Several movie theater chains included a tie-in promotion with the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company where, fulfilling the title, every sixth patron admitted would receive a coupon for a free pack, or a free pack itself, of their Chun King brand reheatable shrimp eggrolls.
