Well, you've read the notes, the notes were befuddled and certainly had insufficient chili, and now it is time for you to post until the insufficient cows come home.

Good morning, all! I hope that my sleep pattern has by now switched over to the Daylight Savings Time calendar. Getting up at 6:45 wasn't as grisly as I feared. 

This is a physical therapy day, followed by laundry and other work at home.  There may be a concert tonight in the Village, depending on today's work and how I'm feeling around 6:00, which is when I need to leave to get to the Village by 7:30.

I know that a lot of folks love MIDNIGHT LACE, and it's really a pretty good movie in itself.

It's primary problem is that it's obvious who the "villain" is by just looking at the cast list.

I was 19 when the movie came out.  I read a 1-2 line synopsis, saw the cast list and I immediately knew who did it...and I was right.

I don't think I ever saw a Doris Day movie that I did NOT like, although I guess two that are not "watch again" films for me would be:

Where Were You When the Lights Went Out?
Caprice

Special favorites are:

Lover Come Back
Pillow Talk
It Happened to Jane
Pajama Game
Love Me or Leave Me
The Man Who Knew Too Much
Storm Warning
Move Over, Darling
Do Not Disturb

I love all of her her movie theme title songs and:

Secret Love
Another Go Around
Catch the Bouquet

AND her album with Andre Previn....

SO, when Bob came in today, he claimed he hadn't seen my email, which may or may not be true.   He said that he is fine in his room and he wasn't thinking of adding a secretary for a year or so...   Anyway, he sort of gets it.  I told him with the sound issues that there is no way we could add another person.  His response was that he hadn't noticed a problem before.     I told him I am not used to being around noise and I don't tune it out well.   I said I even live alone and can't sleep when other people are in the house.  He said "What about guests"  I said "I don't have guests".    He's kept his door shut most of the day.

It actually went fine, though.  He's definitely not in a hurry to leave, but if he's quieter, I'm good with that.   I'm also keeping my door shut, so it's a lot better in here. I don't think it will be an issue and he was actually glad that I told him that when he gets to the point of adding a secretary, it won't be here.

I wanted very much to like IT HAPPENED TO JANE because of Jack Lemmon and especially Ernie Kovacs.  For me, the movie had lots of promise but never got out of second gear.  Even the change in personality of one of the main characters wasn't all that much of a surprise.  Doris Day was okay in the movie and Jack Lemmon was being Jack Lemmon.  Sorry to say it was an inert experience for me.
Title: Re: BEFUDDLED WITH INSUFFICIENT CHILI

Hitchcock's THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH is, of course, Hitchcock, so I am biased into liking it.  Doris Day was, to me, a surprise in the movie because I had no preparation from her other movies that she could be dramatic and believable.  She is quite touching when she is on the telephone with her son.  "Que Sera Sera" is an all-time great song which serves a purpose in the movie other than just being a random stop-the-storyline-and-let's-sing-a-song plot deadener of which so many other movies are guilty.

THE PAJAMA GAME with Doris Day and John Raitt is great entertainment.  I just need to dry clean my memory of the Harry Connick version (I don't like him, as he started out as a third-rate Sinatra impersonator).
Title: Re: BEFUDDLED WITH INSUFFICIENT CHILI

Post by: Dan M on March 31, 2014, 01:35:52 PM
I did this a while back.  I watched SEND ME NO FLOWERS and then SECONDS.  Gave me a whole weird Rock Hudson experience because of what happens in the first movie and how he comes to be in the second.  There seem to me at least many veiled hints in these movies about the real Rock.  Generally, I enjoy the DORIS DAY-ROCK HUDSON-TONY RANDALL triangle.  But, with what we know from the intervening years, that was clearly an isoceles triangle tipped in Tony's favor.

Post by: Jrand74 on March 31, 2014, 01:47:51 PM
I guess I wish there had been a third angle to the triangle rather than Tony Randall....there was never any possibility that Doris' strong characters would end up with Tony's saps. 

If - as in THAT TOUCH OF MINK and TEACHER'S PET - the 'other guy' had been Gig Young, then it would have been a contest.

I agree with everything you say, but I sometimes feel that Richard Quine's touch is off.  All the leads were good; it was the overall movie that didn't gel for me.

I always enjoyed Doris Day's title sequence songs for her later pictures.  While the songs may not have always been classics, they had a good beat, she delivered her all, and somehow set the mood as you "entered" the movie proper.
Title: Re: BEFUDDLED WITH INSUFFICIENT CHILI
Post by: Dan M on March 31, 2014, 02:24:36 PM
I know in my heart that THE GLASS BOTTOM BOAT isn't classic cinema, but it is Frank Tashlin, the opening is lots of fun, and Rod Taylor is a good foil to Day.  Many in the supporting cast are good: Paul Lynde, John McGiver, Ellen Corby, Dick Martin.  I never "got" Arthur Godfrey and to me he is the same whether he was on TV or on the big screen.  Maybe it's a generational thing.  I've also often wondered if the Andy Griffith character, Lonesome Rhodes, was inspired by Godfrey because the avuncular fellow he seemed to be masked the ugliness he had for many.

I agree on Sinatra. Not a taste I've ever acquired, though I do like him in High Society, but much of that was written for him.

There seem to me at least many veiled hints in these movies about the real Rock. 

Really?  I have never noticed them. 

As for the triangle I don't think Tony was Rock's cup of tea and it wouldn't have mattered as Tony wouldn't have been interested ;D

I'm curious, Bruce & Jeanne didn't you know early on the Rock was gay?  I thought it was pretty common knowledge.

I guess I wish there had been a third angle to the triangle rather than Tony Randall....there was never any possibility that Doris' strong characters would end up with Tony's saps. 

If - as in THAT TOUCH OF MINK and TEACHER'S PET - the 'other guy' had been Gig Young, then it would have been a contest.

Gig didn't get her in "Young at Heart" which always bothered me.  When I saw "Four Daughters", the movie Heart is based on, I thought the story was much better.  I still enjoy Heart.

I don't really remember "The Doris Day Show" which she kind of did under duress, but for which she was the pro that she always was.  Has anyone revisited the series and is it worth watching?

I haven't but have a feeling it would not hold up.  I liked the early episodes with Denver Pyle.

DR DAN M I have all five seasons of The DD Show on DVD....and it's not really much fun.  It does have MR BK in the pilot to a series that was going to be a spin off....but didn't happen....

I like the extras where all of the people talk about working on the series and how much they all liked Doris....and it was interesting to learn that many of the shots of "Doris" in the opening montage were of a double....if you don't see the face...it ain't Doris.

LOL I know.  That is so ridiculous though I wonder if it was his way of making the character a good guy.

I doubt the studio minded since the the character, played by John Garfield, was extremely popular in "Four Daughters"

Yes, over all I found the remake far more delightful and enjoyed the music.  Day & Young were a perfect match and then along came Sinatra who brooded.

We actually had a really good day today.  Edith and I worked on a number of things and I got there early enough to explain what was going on before Bob got there.  I think it's  good for both Edith and I to know we aren't going to make any major changes.  Today is the first time Edith sounded excited about my office becoming conference room.  She looked in at how bright and cheery it is and said "I think I'm really going to like coming in here" for conferences.  She also got into the furniture arranging mode with me.  It's all good.

I know that a lot of folks love MIDNIGHT LACE, and it's really a pretty good movie in itself.

It's primary problem is that it's obvious who the "villain" is by just looking at the cast list.

I was 19 when the movie came out.  I read a 1-2 line synopsis, saw the cast list and I immediately knew who did it...and I was right.

 :D

I would not want that ability...especially while watching a movie like "The Sixth Sense."  I was flabbergasted when the big reveal was revealed.

THE SIXTH SENSE fooled me, too.  I like to be surprised.

But, with MIDNIGHT LACE, it seemed so obvious.  (I won't say why because, in case somebody hasn't seen it, I wouldn't want to be a SPOILER.)
