BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

edwagreen Movie history was made with this 1949 film. Whoever expected that Jack Carson, who was robbed of supporting Oscar nominations for "Mildred Pierce," in 1945 and for "A Star is Born," 9 years later, would wind up with the girl by the end of this reviewed film. The girl being of all people Doris Day. While it's certainly not a flaw in a picture, Carson, always the abrasive, go-getter type, was not exactly your leading man in films.A flaw in this film is where a child is screaming mommy, mommy at the airport, while his widowed mother, Day, goes to Hollywood with Carson, her new promoter to seek a career as a singer. This is certainly an emotional scene, but Day soon acts as if the child never existed, and it's not until 40 minutes later that the child reenters the film.Otherwise, we have a good story here where Day is constantly being prevented from success. Some of the reasons are even comical. Lee Bowman, as the conceited singer, really shows his true ways at the very end of the film. There was a brief period in the film where I actually thought we were going into "A Star is Born," when Day finally makes it and Bowman, her beau, is hitting the bottle.S.Z. Sakall doesn't offer much in the movie. Of course, he fractures the English language once more with his line "Alcholics Unanimous." Selena Royle, his wife in the film, is given little to do. Eve Arden is back with Carson, and she is given some of the biting lines. Adolph Menjou, as the radio producer, also offers very little here.It doesn't take much to realize that Day didn't at first succeed given the type of sings she was singing. They were absolutely awful, but the title song "My Dreams is Yours" was memorable.

bkoganbing One of the best of Doris Day's early Warner Brothers films is My Dream Is Your's. In this one she's a World War II widow with a young son who is also a singer looking for a big break in radio.In a sense My Dream Is Your's was dated before it hit the theaters in 1949. That thing known as television was starting to spread across the land and someone looking for a break in radio that year would have had to have one's head examined. As many of radio's top personalities were moving to television, there were more opportunities in radio than ever before.This film was done at the tail end of radio as it ended its thirty year run as an entertainment media. It took several years for radio to redefine itself as a news/entertainment media that it is today. Still the plot is a nice one.Doris has two men to choose from here, an egotistical radio singer that makes the ladies swoon as Frank Sinatra did played by Lee Bowman and a talent agent who discovers Day and sticks with her played by Jack Carson.Some of Doris's finest words of praise about her co-workers in her memoirs were written about Jack Carson. This part may have been closer to the real Carson than the usually egotistical blowhards Carson took a patent out on in Hollywood. Doris went out with him a few times in her early days at the studio and she describes him as a sweet, kind, lovable man who unfortunately drank a little too much. Her scenes with Carson show the real affection she had for him though.Harry Warren made a return visit to the studio where he wrote so much lasting movie music in the Thirties. He wrote the title song which sold a few platters for Doris back in the day(no pun intended) and a few other new songs. Several of his old songs got into the film as well they should because the studio owned them already. One was a nice ballad called I'll String Along With You that Dick Powell introduced and Doris sang as a lullaby to her son. That record also sold pretty well for her. The new songs had lyrics by Ralph Blane.Jack Warner, not to be outdone by Louis B. Mayer, got a couple of his animated stars to appear in My Dream Is Your's with Day and Carson the same way Jerry Mouse danced with Gene Kelly in Anchors Aweigh. It's done in a very charming child's dream sequence and not to be missed by animation fans of that wascally wabbit known as Bugs Bunny.My Dream Is Your's also boasts one fine set of character players, as good as you'll find in any film. You can never go wrong with a film that has Adolphe Menjou, S.Z. Sakall, Eve Arden, and Edgar Kennedy all at their finest. This was in fact the farewell film for Edgar Kennedy and you can see how ill he is in his scenes as Doris's uncle.Maybe if My Dream Is Your's had been done a year later we would have been talking about Carson getting Day a break on television. But the film would have been just as good.

Neil Doyle After the success of her first starring role in ROMANCE ON THE HIGH SEAS ('48), Doris is re-united with Jack Carson for another pleasant musical trifle with Doris as the girl singer Carson finds in order to replace conceited band singer (Lee Bowman) who refuses to sign another contract. Along for a few laughs are Eve Arden (more adept than usual with her punch lines) and S.Z. "Cuddles" Sakall, fracturing English and being generally amusing as a radio producer.The only thing that lifts this out of the ordinary is the cartoon sequence using "Hungarian Rhapsody" as the music for the "Freddy Get Ready" sequence combining live action with the animated Bugs Bunny.Other than that, if you like Doris Day, she has another tailor-made role as a band singer who gets to sing pleasant ballads like the title tune and adds some fresh appeal to the role of a girl Carson wants to turn into a new singing sensation. A better than average little musical thanks to the performances of Day, Carson and Lee Bowman--as well as the always enjoyable Eve Arden.

The Novelist What a waste of my time. This dull film provided the 25 year old Doris Day with an opportunity to pay her bills and pad out her c.v. Apart from that, it serves no purpose at all, and shouldn't belong in the Day canon. Bring on the 1950's.
