Movie Review: Sheer magic between Doris Day and Brian Keith
Summary: 5 Stars
Doris Day's final movie is my favorite Doris Day movie for many reasons. First, the year was 1968 and although the generation gap was booming in America, this movie shows the best of how we got along in this country. I was a kid when my parents took me to see this movie in the theatre when it was first released and I've always loved it. Americans were facing the Vietnam War, the assasinations of RFK and Martin Luther King, Jr., the hippies and drug revolution was ruining too much of American youth but many families were holding things together and that is something which has been overlooked by history. In this movie, we see Doris holding down the responsibilities of owning a family business and taking care of her three kids as a single mom (and she looks absolutely beautiful throughout the entire movie) and Brian Keith as a hard working, level headed, single dad raising a teenage daughter during these turbulent times. Doris and Brian meet and well, you'll have to trust me that there is sheer magic on the screen between them. It's also fun to see the 1968 cars and the styles of houses (which were much nicer than the cheap looking, aluminum sided townhouses and condos so widespread today in the US).
Brian Keith had a hit TV show with "Family Affair" on CBS during the making of this movie and Doris Day was about to launch her own "The Doris Day Show" later in 1968 on CBS. Two superstars of film and TV in one movie. It's a real treat to watch over and again.
Movie Review: Better than the Brady Bunch
Summary: 5 Stars
If you love the Brady Bunch, this is the movie for you. The movie is very real, down to earth, and busy professional people (especially ladies) could identify with the lead character. Although the Brady Bunch shown an unreal, perfect world, this movie pulls you into real, imperfect situations. The pressure to keep up with a successful business, being a mother of three boys, and dealing with society's expectation to also be in a successful relationship and married are brought to light in this entertaining, super-funny comedy. Brian Keith is also great in his portrayal of a professional dealing with his new-found relationship and super-bratty daughter. The good in everyone shines through by the end, leaving the audience not being able to discriminate between tears of laughter and the couple of sentimental tears. Another great Doris Day comedy.Movie Review: One timeless comedy!
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this as a kid and was amused by it then and recently watched this and still enjoyed it.
Doris Day plays a single mom with 3 kids (we don't know what happened to the husband/father---typical of a 1960s comedy---divorce or death not talked about) and Brian Keith plays a single dad to a daughter. The two meet again (they met when their spouses were around) at a dinner party, fall in love, get married and break the news to their kids who are not in favor of the relationship. Be prepared for lots of laughs!
This film has many popular actors in it. Besides Day and Keith, a young Barbara Hershey, Jamie Farr, William Christopher (also from M*A*S*H) George Carlin, Pat Carroll, Alice Ghostley, and the pop rock group, The Grass Roots are were in it.
Truly, a timeless classic comedy.
Movie Review: Wonderful Day Swan Song
Summary: 5 Stars
A charming and delightful completion to Doris Day's film career. As always, her supporting cast is full of talented character actors and upcoming stars. I just rewatched the DVD, and found new and interesting tidbits. Robert Mersey composed the score for the film (after doing some research, he was also involved with Streisand's 'Color Me Barbra' TV Special). Of particular interest, there is a recurring musical theme throughout the movie, highly reminiscent of a wildly successful musical which debuted 2 years after the release of this film - not composed by Mersey. I am surprised no one has noticed it before. See the film, listen to the music, enjoy the wonderful Doris Day.Movie Review: this is MY life!
Summary: 5 Stars
As a mom of many, I can relate. I love this movie. love Doris Day. I love the old days when a movie didn't have all the swearing and nudity and violence like now a days. I love swearing, nudity and violence - but there is just something refreshing about not having it, and not being tense through a whole movie waiting to be assaulted. know what I mean?
this movie is kind of like the Lucile Ball movie "yours mine and ours" with less kids. so, if you liked that one - you'll like this one. and this one does have some really great stuff. funny!!!
