Movie Review: What A Great Rare Musical Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a really great Classic Musical starring Danny Thomas and Doris Day.Danny Thomas portrays the great classic Music Writer Gus Kahn and DOris Plays his wife Julie. At the beginning Gus is a down on his luck guy who works for the local Crockery Company and Julie helps him to raise his spirits and turn his music career into something really neat!
Gus writes a whole ton of classic Hits and Julie writes the music! This is a great classic movie that I highly suggest to everybody!
Movie Review: Doris Day and Danny Thomas and music.
Summary: 1 Stars
Doris Day works for a sheet music company where singers look for new music and where songs are published. Danny Thomas is a down-on-his-luck, persistant lyric writer who tries to persuade Doris to at least see his music. He then shows up at her home. Boy, what a pest. But she does like one song, quits her job and helps him get a song published. Not even Doris Day in "black face" can save this film. Fast moving, but not the best film for Doris Day and not the best of Danny Thomas. Mary Wickes and Jim Backus also in the cast. The young children Robert Lyden and Bunny Lewbel are a delight.Movie Review: Another Great Film By Michael Curtiz
Summary: 4 Stars
Well directed by Michael Curtiz (Casablanca, The Adventures of Robin Hood), emotionally satisfying Doris Day film has terrific performances throughout; especially from Frank Lovejoy in a key supporting role. The film loses one star from me due to an unecessary scene with Doris Day performing in black face.
Summary of I'll See You In My Dreams
Doris Day and Danny Thomas romantically collaborate in this affectionate biopic of tunesmith Gun Kahn that's a treasure chest of some of this century's greatest songs. Year: 1952 Director: Michael Curtiz Starring: Doris Day, Danny Thomas, Frank LovejoyHollywood's tradition of composer biographies is a crowded (and heavily fictionalized) subgenre, but make room for I'll See You in My Dreams, an enjoyably low-key account of the life of lyricist Gus Kahn. Danny Thomas, in one of his rare big-screen leads, plays the scrappy writer, and Doris Day plays wife (and sometime collaborator) Grace LeBoy Kahn. The film has the customary rise-and-fall of a showbiz career and marriage, with a couple of standard-issue conflicts thrown in: Kahn is tempted by the glitz of Broadway and the appeal of a shapely diva (Patrice Wymore), becomes depressed over a dip in his popularity, and is embarrassed by his wife's decision-making (Grace comes across as the Yoko of the era--although the movie endorses her bossy approach). Director Michael Curtiz, who had a lot to do with Day's early movie career, imparts an elegant look to the black-and-white interiors, and he fully embraces the cornpone twists of the story. Doris is Doris, and although Danny Thomas doesn't prove himself a great movie presence here, his offhand style wears well. But there is one huge reason to watch the movie, and that's the soundtrack, which brings home just how much Kahn was the lyric voice of the 1920s, the tunesmith for the F. Scott Fitzgerald age. When you realize that "Ain't We Got Fun," "My Buddy," "Toot Toot Tootsie," and "Yes Sir, That's My Baby" were written by the same lyricist, you can see how Kahn owned the flapper era. The puckish highlight is a fun duet with Thomas and Day on "Makin' Whoopee," which proves that classic doesn't need Michelle Pfeiffer to succeed. --Robert Horton
