Movie Reviews of Do Not Disturb
Movie Review: Lots of great vintage Hollywood fun!
Summary: 4 Stars
It's wonderful to see, finally, this Doris Day comedy on DVD. The formula plays much like the 1963 "Move Over, Darling", but that formula works, and changing it up with new plot incidents, locales, stars and designs makes "Do Not Disturb" a vintage piece of delightful entertainemt. Day is so winning and acts with such effortless ease, that we go right along with the silly sitcom plot devices. In fact, we enjoy them because she brings reality to even the most hackneyed gags. As usual, Day is surrounded by acting and production pros who make the proceedings all the more enjoyable because we don't worry that any element of the film is going to fall apart. "Do Not Disturb" takes us to the far-off lands of England and France via 20th Century Fox's backlot, and wraps everything visual with great style. The costumes for Day are particularly lavish here, including a spectacular floor length, backless, sequined tangerine gown - which she fills with utterly delightful femininity. Rod Taylor is a fine co-star (he's even better with her in 1966's "Glass Bottom Boat"), Hermione Baddeley gets to glam it up as a genteel British countrywoman, and Sergio Fantoni makes a terrific romantic foil. Lots of fizzy fun, great cast and production make this a film that can be viewed repeatedly as the type of romantic comedy that simply could not be made any longer.Movie Review: A Good Pair
Summary: 4 Stars
I've always felt that the pairing of Doris Day and Rod Taylor was as equally as good as that with James Garner or Rock Hudson, and much undervalued by the 'critics'! Somehow rugged Aussie He-Man Rod, and girl next door Doris, seemed like a perfect match, and they both had an appealing chemistry between them, you got the feeling they enjoyed each others company. 'Do Not Disturb' may not have been quite as good as their other film together [Glass Bottom Boat], but it was a lot better than most 'critics' paint it. A harmless piece of nonsense with some good laughs, and nice photography, it's what I'd class as a good 'no brainer' that you can sit back and watch after a hard day at work, and it's sure to relax you and put a smile on your dial! It's not a screen 'classic', but does what it intends to do, gives some good lighthearted entertainment, just by watching two pros strut their stuff. Rod, more remembered for his tough no nonsense action roles, has a suprisingly good flair for light comedy, and watching these two together, only makes me wish they'd teamed up for a couple more films.Movie Review: charming
Summary: 4 Stars
a charming, pleasant sentimental comedy. not a bad film after all (unreleased in France)that seems to be not such a good souvenir in Doris' opinion. 40 years after remains an entertaining movie, with a je-ne-sais-quoi from the good old days...sorry, Day, of course!
beeing French, why do US directors see Paris that way, I will never understand! anyway, have fun with this movie! DD charming as ever.
a plus: French subtitles! thanks!
Movie Review: Do not Disturb
Summary: 4 Stars
Although I am a Doris Day fan, this one is not my favorite movie of hers. I enjoyed watching her having trouble with money exchanges and driving, and loved how she dealt with the fox hunters. I loved the fashion clothing and her interaction with the French family too. I didn't like Rod Taylor's script. I thought his part was a little demeaning toward her. It was a good movie, but could have been much better.Movie Review: Family fun
Summary: 4 Stars
Good to be able to watch a movie with your kids and not have to worry about the language. I started my daughter on Doris Day movies when she was young, and now at 14 we can enjoy them together. Not quite as many laughs, but still classic Doris Day.
