Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

SimonJack It seems to have been widespread knowledge that Doris Day's third husband, Marty Melcher, lost most of her sizable estate by bad management. And, that as her manager in the mid-1960s until his death, he got her into some lousy films. "Do Not Disturb" surely supports that contention. Only a couple of her late films were very good, and I think this one is the worst film that the wonderfully talented Day ever made. It's not because of her acting, or even the plot. It was an OK idea for a story. The fault in this turkey lies with the script, the direction and the editing. Who wants to see a film in which Doris Day is on screen for half an hour or more getting tipsy – bar hopping and going from one venue to another? She is supposed to flip out with two drinks, but she goes on and on and on drinking champagne. I kept waiting for her to pass out. There is absolutely no humor here, and it quickly becomes boring and aimless. The story seems pieced together and disconnected. There is very little chemistry between Day and co-star Rod Taylor. Their spats and quick turn-arounds don't come off as believable.Day plays Janet Harper in a role that is unusually flighty for her. Taylor is her husband, Mike, who doesn't quite seem to fit into his role as a hard-nosed business manager hired to rescue an ailing British woolen company. The cast for most of the other roles seem wooden at times, unconvincing at other times. Doris Day was one of the most versatile performers of the mid-20th century. She had sung with big bands and had hit tunes on records and the radio. She could dance and act, and was especially good in romantic comedies. She retired from show biz early – at just 51 years of age, when her TV series, "The Doris Day Show" went off the air after six years in 1973. Fans and movie buffs will cherish her best films for decades to come. She deserved much better products than this in her last years of performing.

deedee71 I have long been a fan of Doris Day. I have always considered her one of the most talented, funny and versatile actresses to ever grace the screen. I was expecting this film to sparkle with the fabulously witty, light touch that she always brought to her film comedies, but I was sadly mistaken. If you are expecting something along the lines of the brilliant 'Pillow Talk' or 'Move over, Darling', you may end up being as disappointed as I was. For starters, the script is facile, and lacks the clever dialogue, with its' verbal tennis matches, of the above mentioned movies. It is frankly very repetitive, with the main protagonists constant bantering about fidelity. Secondly, there is little to no chemistry between Ms.Day and Rod Taylor, which is so very noticeable when one has already seen 'Pillow Talk' and had the pleasure of viewing the real deal between Doris and Rock Hudson. I got halfway through the movie and turned over, as there was nothing to maintain my attention. My advice would be to stick to 'classic Doris Day' if you want true entertainment, and to last the course!

ianlouisiana I'm afraid the title - sequence sets the tone for "Do not disturb". Shoddy,clichéd,badly thought - out and not funny. The establishing shot of London,England is accompanied by a faux Nelson Riddle arrangement of "Rule Brittania",we see Miss Day make her entrance in a London,England Taxi Cab,to be met at the kerb by a London,England,Bobby who wears his helmet strap as if he fears it might blow off.We have some amusing dialogue about how confusing English money is before she pays eight shillings and sixpence,assisted by an English City Gent and a "cockney" cab driver.O.K.,enough already,we're in England. Just to make sure we get it,the same cab turns up outside Doris's big house in rural Kent (Nah,Guv,no can do,it's outside the twelve mile limit). She and hubby Mr R.Taylor(not at all comfortable) have a nice Morgan which neither can drive,and nearly every car on England's roads seems to be a pastel - shaded MGB Roadster. Miss H.Baddeley is as you might expect as the posh owner of dear Doris's house. We have long drawn - out Foxhunting jokes,misunderstandings between Doris and Rod,and an obligatory drunk scene before it all ends happily. Co - produced by Doris's hubby,"Do not disturb" should have been left to "proper" film makers who might have been able to breathe a bit of life into it. As it is,it sinks weighed down by its mediocrity.Sorry,Doris.

gftbiloxi Doris Day was among Hollywood's few truly bankable stars during the late 1950s and early 1960s, particularly noted for her comic talents in such frothy farces as PILLOW TALK, PLEASE DON'T EAT THE DAISIES, and THAT TOUCH OF MINK. Unfortunately, as the 1960s progressed her films did not, and although her films remained popular they were seen as increasingly out of touch with the tone of the times. The situation was not helped by Day's husband-manager Martin Melcher, who developed the habit of signing Day to film projects Day herself found uninspired. Such was the case with the 1965 flyweight comedy DO NOT DISTURB.The play seems to be a grab-bag of ideas from previous Day films, the story of a pretty but slightly klutzy wife (Day) and a neglectful husband (Rod Taylor) who find themselves at romantic cross purposes courtesy of their landlady Vanessa (Hermione Baddeley), a sexy secretary (Maura McGiveney), and a handsome antiques dealer(Sergio Fantoni.) The roles are one-dimensional, the plot turns are predictable, and the dialogue trivial. Both Day and Taylor respond by overplaying, sometimes to the point of shrillness. Even so, they do manage to inject enough life into the film to make it mildly amusing--and the supporting cast is quite charming. When all is said and done, the film is most memorable for the sight of Doris Day in a brilliantly orange evening gown as she struggles on the dance floor to shake away an olive dropped down her back.The DVD includes several bonus features, including an account of Day's early life and career, a brief biography of Michael Romanoff (who plays a cameo in the film), and a brief biography of composer Mort Garson (who is perhaps best remembered for the song "Our Day Will Come.) It offers a nice transfer and is present in its original widescreen format. Most Doris Day fans will find it amusing, but even so most will admit that DO NOT DISTURB is hardly among the first tier of her films: not bad, but in no way memorable.GFT, Amazon Reviewer
