Movie Reviews of My Dream Is Yours
Movie Review: Charming Musical!
Summary: 5 Stars
I just saw this movie for the first time and it is absolutely delightful! This was Doris Day's second movie (She had just finished "Romance On the High Seas")and second film with Jack Carson. She is Martha Gibson, a talented singer, who is trying to provide for her little boy, Freddie (he is really cute and a great actor!) after her husband died in the war. Talent agent Doug Blake (Jack Carson)discovers her in New York and take her to California with him where she is going to replace the arrogant singer Gary on "The Hour of Enchantment." Well, things don't go as planned, and Martha ends up falling in love with Gary (well, she thinks she is). Gary ends up getting drunk before his show, get fired and goes away, she ends up taking his place and becoming famous. When Doug proposes she tells him of her feelings for Gary and he plans a party for the two of them to get together. While she is with Gary she realizes how prideful and selfish he really is and her true feelings for Doug. This is a great movie that I would recommend!
Summary of My Dream Is Yours
This backstage showbiz saga was quickly put into production at Warners when Doris Day proved to be the breakout star of the moment in her first film, Romance on the High Seas. And although Doris has a basket of tuneful numbers and the movie itself boasts a crazy Bugs Bunny sequence, it has the look of something rushed into service. Doris spots the main chance when talent agent Jack Carson needs to replace his egotistical client, crooner Lee Bowman. Some conventionally enjoyable climbing-the-ladder scenes follow (which bear a resemblance to Doris Day's real-life struggles to catch on as a band singer, such as trouping while raising small child). Equally conventional, but less convincing, is a romantic contrivance to delay the inevitable Day-Carson pairing. The movie is awash in Technicolor, and director Michael Curtiz crams some wonderful vintage landmarks of Los Angeles into the picture: the Brown Derby restaurant, Schwab's Drugstore. The color also shows off Eve Arden's red hair, although her sardonic style requires no color enhancement. Martin Scorsese has acknowledged My Dream Is Yours as a key influence on his musical, New York, New York, and the unhappy romance and candy-colored photography give a hint why. And the Bugs Bunny thing is a live-action/cartoon blend (? la the Gene Kelly-Jerry the Mouse dance in Anchors Aweigh), directed by Friz Freleng, that puts Day and Carson in rabbit suits. That's the most inspired sequence, so be advised. --Robert HortonAn agent discovers a talented singer who's also a single mom and tries to make her a radio star not expecting to fall in love with her.Running Time: 101 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY UPC: 012569796690 Manufacturer No: 79669
