Movie Reviews

A HALF DOZEN TANTALIZING TREATS FROM DORIS
Paul Brogan | Portsmouth, NH United States | 03/19/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Two years ago Warners released "The Doris Day Collection" which quickly became a best seller. It contained some choice Day films from the 50's and 60's and reacquainted a lot of people with the wide-ranging talents that Doris Day possesses. There was a reason she reigned as the top box-office female star in history, a title she holds to this day. Volume 2 contains 6 more reasons why Doris Day still has that unique ability to make audiences feel warm, content, happy, and very satisfied.
Included in this collection is Day's screen debut, 1948's "Romance on the High Seas". It's a gorgeous technicolor treat - a throwback to an era when movies were designed to entertain and it succeeds gloriously. Miss Day introduces the classic song, "It's Magic" and while not first-billed, steals the show from Jack Carson (the first of three successive teamings), Janis Paige, S.Z. Sakall and a great cast. It's a case of mistaken identity, but what is most memorable is the ease with which Miss Day seems to acquit herself on film. She's a natural - funny, real, and gorgeous. There's a bit of the late Betty Hutton in her performance but ultimately she proves herself to be one of a kind.
The rest of the titles each have their high points. "My Dream is Yours" has lots of grit in this variation of "A Star is Born" with Day's star rising and for good reason. My favorite song is her heartfelt rendition of "I'll String Along With You" - flawless. Other highlights include a sequence in which she and Carson team with Bugs Bunny.
"I'll See You in My Dreams" is the wonderful bio of lyricist Gus Kahn and contains a trunkload of classic tunes sung perfectly by Day, co-star Danny Thomas and Patrice Wymore in a knockout performance. It has much more grit than the typical biography and Miss Day is exceptionally good as Kahn's wife Grace. Michael Curtiz has directed the film in black and white which seems to make it more serious than many films of this mileau.
"On Moonlight Bay" (1951) and it's sequel 1953's "By the Light of the Silvery Moon" are like a couple of Currier and Ives pictures brought to life. Warm-hearted and filled with a score of great tunes, they lovingly capture an era that might have been or at least was in memory. Miss Day, co-star Gordon MacRae and "family" - Leon Ames, Rosemary DeCamp, Billy Gray and Mary Wickes, seem like a family. Loosely based on Tarkington's "Penrod" tales, it had critics carping that it wasn't "Meet Me In St. Louis" and it isn't. On its own terms it is just as delightful filled with charm and genuine warmth, never forced and never trite.
The weakest link in the collection is probably "Lucky Me", the first technicolor musical and subject to critical pans at the time of its release.
Miss Day and a fine supporting cast including Bob Cummings, Nancy Walker, Phil Silvers, Eddie Foy Jr and Martha Hyer, give it their all. The songs may not be memorable but they are energetically rendered and there are enough chuckles sprinkled throughout to keep the film going.
One will come away from this 12 hour marathon of Doris Day films feeling extremely good, exhilirated in fact, and possibly wishing that Hollywood still made the kind of feel-good movie that Doris specialized in during her 7 years at Warners. Feeling that way in this day and age is something not to be scoffed at. If someone could bottle that indefinable quality that Doris Day possesses and share it with the world, we'd all benefit.

Yes! This just made my (Doris) Day!!!!!

"Six new to DVD Doris Day movies!!!! Hooray!!!! If Doris is in it, it is top notch entertainment! I've seen them all, and love them all. That sparkle was there with her first movie, Romance On The High Seas! Yes, there are more DD movies to (eventually) come out on DVD, but let's be happy with these jewels! Maybe this means another set is on the horizon!"
An Excellent & Welcome Set, But Incomplete...

"Musical films that WILL be a part of the Doris Day DVD Collection Vol. 2:

--ROMANCE ON THE HIGH SEAS (1948); Miss Day's film debut. w/Jack Carson, "Cuddles," Oscar Levant, et al. Highlighted by the song "It's Magic" and many more.
--MY DREAM IS YOURS (1949); Miss Day's 2nd film. again w/Jack Carson, "Cuddles," Eve Arden, et al. Lots of great songs penned by Harry Warren.
--ON MOONLIGHT BAY (1951); 3rd teaming with Gordon MacRae; Doris as Marjorie Winfield in small-town Indiana with her family.
--I'LL SEE YOU IN MY DREAMS (1951); lesser-known Day film; w/Danny Thomas. great Gus Kahn songs.
--BY THE LIGHT OF THE SILVERY MOON (1953); 4th teaming with Gordon MacRae; Doris returns as Marjie Winfield.
--LUCKY ME (1954); lesser-known Day film; according to my source, this was the first musical to be shot in CinemaScope.

Musical films that will NOT be included in this set (and should have been):

--IT'S A GREAT FEELING (1949); light-hearted, hilarious, and interesting comedy set on the actual Warner Bros. studio lot with stars Dennis Morgan and Jack Carson playing themselves as they try to break Doris (as Judy Adams) into pictures! Plenty of cameos by stars of the era. Doris's skill as a comedienne really shines here. Doris's third film, "It's a Great Feeling" deserved a DVD release for inclusion with this set.
--TEA FOR TWO (1950); 1st teaming with Gordon MacRae; also w/Gene Nelson, Eve Arden, Billy De Wolfe, "Cuddles," et al. vivacious song and dance numbers. sparkling comedy. this essential Doris Day musical continues to be, unfortunately, M.I.A. on DVD.
--THE WEST POINT STORY (1950); 2nd teaming with Gordon MacRae; also w/James Cagney, Virginia Mayo, Gene Nelson. fun b&w film. sprightly score by Jule Styne & Sammy Cahn.
--APRIL IN PARIS (1952); laugh risibly, if you will, at Doris's romantic pairing with Ray Bolger. it remains a delightful film just the same."
5 stars for the two "Moon" films!

"If you've ever seen 'On Moonlight Bay' and 'By the Light of the Silvery Moon' then you know that this set is complete with just those two films....in my opinion at least.
The same cast from 'Moonlight' returns again in 'Silvery Moon' and the ensemble are just so fun together that you'll wish they had made a third, forth, etc. in the series!
Mary Wickes, always a hoot, is the ornery sidekick/housecleaner/maid (as usual),
Billy Gray...is hilarious as Doris' little brother, with his wild/vivid imagination.
Gordon McCrea is Doris' love interest in both films.
Those are the standouts to me...but you should watch them and see what you like best. If you enjoy light-hearted, clean, fun, family oriented films...both of these are for you!!
I can't wait to see the other 4 films, which I've heard of, but not seen yet!"
