Cute Movie, lots of action and intrique. Doris Day makes any movie fun to watch.Movie Review: Wonderful Doris Day Performance in A Non-Perfect Thriller
Summary: 4 Stars
Since I have no chance to re-edit "Caprice," I have decided to just praise Doris Day for being an excellent actress adept in drama, but especially in musicals and comedy.
I did not like several scenes in "Caprice" and I blame that on the director, Frank Tashlin, whom I feel had a tendency to go "overboard," pushing the envelope to the max. I felt he "misused" Miss Day, who, at the time, had been the top female boxoffice star since 1959. If the potato chip eating scene was omitted or changed, the dusting powder commerical and the silliness of Day's repremand by Sir Jason about stealing an underarm deordorant's formula (with Day dropping her head in shame), were omitted, this would rank among Day's best film comedies.
I loved the work she did with Edward Mulhare aboard the plane and in his "house of art." Her scene with character actress Lilia Skalia in her chemical laboratory was well-played by both actresses. Doris had three important scenes with Ray Walston. I epecially enjoyed his cosmetics demonstration with Day giving incredible reactions to his manical behavior and the scene where he confronted her in drag and attempted to kill her.
Day worked well with Richard Harris, who had just the right amount of English arrogance as the counter spy. He has said that he did not particularly like "Caprice," but had nothing but praise for Doris Day as an actress. He said, "I learned more about comedy from Doris Day than I could have in 10 years at the Royal Academy." Jack Lemmon would agree.
Regardless of the picture's shortcomings, it is still enjoyable because one of the great movie stars (Doris Day) is in this film. She was given excellent support by a group of truely professional actors, had a fun wardrobe and a marvelous cinematographer, Leon Shamroy.
Movie Review: Doris Day is wonderful as always!
Summary: 4 Stars
This was one of the few Doris Day films that I had never seen. So, I was quite excited when I saw it would be coming to DVD. The extras are great, and I'm thrilled Fox has seen fit to include them on this disc and those for "Do Not Disturb" and one of Doris' best "Move Over Darling."
The film is amusing, and I laughed out loud several times. The film was a spoof in its time, and so it should be viewed as such, but sometimes I believe it falls short. Regardless, it is must for any Doris Day fan. As always she is wonderful in it. I am thrilled to finally have this one in my collection. If you are thinking about adding it to yours, do not hesitate.
