This is a documentary, not a film
2005-09-08
Many of these reviews are written about a Doris Day movie. This is NOT a movie. Read the description--it's a documentary hosted by Peter Graves. It's an excellent documentary and any Doris Day fan would love it, but don't think it's a movie, 'cause it's not. :)
a star is born

Doris Day sparkles in this film, which was her film debut; it's a predictable, silly but fun plot of a couple who suspect each other of cheating, and devise ways of spying, only to be confused by wrong identities and of course, love.
The cast surrounding Doris is terrific, with Janis Page and Don DeFore as the couple, Jack Carson as Peter Vigil, the private investigator in love with Doris, Oscar Levant as a down and out pianist also in love with Doris, S.Z. Sakell as Uncle Lazlo who meddles in everything, and Leslie Brooks as the stunning secretary that raises Janis Paige's suspicions. This 1948 film is peppered with lovely Jule Styne/Sammy Cahn songs, including the Oscar nominated "It's Magic". Others are "I'm in Love", "It's You or No One", "The Tourist Trade" (sung by Avon Long), "Put 'Em in a Box, Tie 'Em with a Ribbon, and Throw 'Em in the Deep Blue Sea", "Two Lovers Met in the Night", "Run, Run, Run" (sung by Jack Carson), and Oscar Levant plays his "Caribbean Rhapsody". Directed with swift pacing by Michael Curtiz, the dance numbers are choreographed by Busby Berkeley, The Page Cavanaugh Trio back Doris in some numbers, and the Technicolor cinematography and fabulous fashions are great to look at. The circumstances of Doris Day being hired for this film read like a Cinderella story. Jule Styne heard her sing at a party while he was looking for a replacement for Betty Hutton, who had to back out of the film due to pregnancy, and urged Michael Curtiz to hire her. Doris was 23 at the time, and as a singer had a hit with "Sentimental Journey", but according to biographies was in the process of a second divorce, at a low point in her life, and ready to "quit show business" when this opportunity came her way...and a star was born. Total running time is 99 minutes.
Put this in a box, tie it with a ribbon, and take it home!!!

What A Magical Film
2004-07-10
I love Doris Day Movies and I own all 39/39 of her movies but I have to say that this is my favorite one. Doris was so magical in this role as Miss Georgia Kent and Who can forget Jack Carsons fantastic Role as the Detective. Elvira Kent (Janis Page) thinks that Her Husband is being unfaithful and her husband thinks the same about her. So they both make the other one think they are going on their honeymoon so they each send a spy but they don't know that the other one didn't go. Well Georgia uses the name of Elvira Kent and The Detective thinks she is Elivra Kent and they go on a merry little chase. This movie was Doris's Film Debut and she sings my personal favorite song in this movie It's Magic. And who can forget the catchy tune the Tourist Trade. What a beautiful movie. This is a great movie for the whole family to enjoy.
It's magic with Doris Day in her film debut.
