By The Light of The Silvery Moon

Those are some of my favorite Doris Day films.
What are yours?

I LOVE Pillow Talk! The pillows at the VERY end (the "the end" pillows) are CLASSIC symbolism!

"You are my inspiration, Louise"
Pillow Talk is a fabulous movie.

I also really like the HitchcocK with her and Jimmy Stewart where she sings "Que Sera Sera". What is that one? Is it "The Man Who Knew Too Much"?


EDIT: I had to adjust the spelling on the song. I keep wanting to go the Italian route and spell it "Che Sara Sara".

The Man Who Knew Too Much is my favorite Doris Day film and my favorite Hitchcock film. I love when she sings at the embassy. Sing louder, Doris! He can't hear you!

Which is the one where she gets hired for the detergent commercial? I love that one too.

nobody mentions Midnight Lace?!

Also second The Man Who Knew Too Much and Love Me Or Leave Me--both Oscar-worthy efforts...when is Doris going to receive the Honorary Oscar?

I don't know the name of it, but I love the one that Mister Matt mentioned, about where she was hired as the soap detergent girl. HILLARIOUS!

Wow, what a good dancer!
That "Anybody Seen My Gal?" dance was superb.
What timing! It made 'The Roller Skate Rag' look like nothing.

CALAMITY JANE!

Posted: 10/21/06 at 7:58pm

I think the one where she's a soap detergent spokeswoman was "The Thrill of it All" with James Garner. I also liked the movie "Move Over Darling" with J Garner and the remake of "My Favorite Wife" with Cary Grant.

I enjoy all of her movies, good or not so good. :)

The real Ruth Etting is pretty!
I'm watching "A Modern Cinderella" which is an extra on my LOVE ME OR LEAVE ME DVD.

Okay, that was weird.

That last post is mine, but MY board name did not come up. And when I clicked on my profile, it was someone else's.

Has this ever happened to anyone else???

I like every Doris Day film (the only movie star for which I can make that claim). If I had to pick just one, I guess I'd go with PLEASE DON'T EAT THE DAISES.

BTW: I took out PILLOW TALK from my library today. This'll be my first time watching it. Yay me!

I have no idea who "19" is but that post by him/her was written and posted by ME!

I PMed the mods. Spooky.

Sorry to threadjack. This should be about Miss Day, not Miss Pennywise!
