Movie Reviews of Do Not Disturb
Movie Review: Doris Day in a Bad Movie
Summary: 2 Stars
Sometimes, directors are dazzled by the star they are directing. I think this was the case with "Do Not Disturb." Ralph Levy seems to have sat back and NOT directed Doris Day! Forget that this was a lame and utterly silly story and the Day character was just too silly for words (getting angry because her husband was at WORK and not available to help her pick out drapes for their living room, etc.).
In the midst of tremendous social criticism regarding Miss Day's "being out of touch," her husband, Martin Melcher came up with this sub-standard script. This was one of the scripts he brought to Miss Day and her eyes rolled back inside her head. HE'D ALREADY SIGNED FOR HER TO MAKE THE FILM.
Doris is overly "cutesy" and "muggy" throughout. Don't get me wrong, she has her moments here. (1) When she realizes that the children were drinking wine and not coke (2) The fun kickball on the street (3) The charming scene inside the Paris pub where she gets drunk and then lost in the fog. The rest was just junk. In the '60s in party scenes, there was always a dumb blond who starts laughing very loudly; there is some very BAD disco dancing and in true Day tradition, there is a chase scene near the end of the movie with Day running from SOMEone. Rod Taylor looked angry and embarrassed throughout (with good reason) and Doris over-acted all over the place. Thankfully, the two stars redeemed themselves in the funny and well done, "Glass Bottom Boat" the following year.
Doris looked beautiful, as usual, but for the first time, I wasn't crazy about her wardrobe.
