I've been hoping that there'd be a Doris Day set in TCM's Greatest Classic Films series. This collection of four of Day's best covers all the bases - her signature role, best dramatic performance, and her official film debut. In short, a lot of thought has gone into the assembly of this set (the TCM sets are often hit-or-miss in terms of what a specific actor's "best work" is perceived to have been).
Doris Day is one of the best-loved actresses from the golden age, and seems to garner more and more fans every year. A successful band singer during the war with Les Brown, she first burst onto Hollywood movie screen's with the delightful ROMANCE ON THE HIGH SEAS, playing Georgia Garrett. Georgia dreams of traveling the world but hasn't a dime to even cross the street, so she more than readily accepts an offer from society girl Elvira Kent (Janis Paige), to take her ticket and identity for a South American cruise, so that she can secretly remain at home and keep tabs on her philandering hubby (Don DeFore). Unbeknownst to the ladies, a private detective (Jack Carson) has been hired to counterspy on "Elvira" during the cruise! Day introduced her signature song "It's Magic", and went on to star in two more films with Jack Carson.
CALAMITY JANE is unquestionably Day's signature screen role. Nobody can imagine another actress filling out those buckskin pants and singing "Secret Love". Calam transforms from western hellcat to refined lady in her attempts to woo handsome Danny Gilmartin (Philip Carey), but he's only got eyes for Deadwood's saloon darling Katie Brown (Allyn Ann McLerie). Could it be that Calam's own secret love is her sworn sparring enemy, Wild Bill Hickok (Howard Keel)?
Day surprised her harshest critics and stunned fans when she starred as the legendary 1920's songbird Ruth Etting in LOVE ME OR LEAVE ME, arguably her finest dramatic portrayal. Plucked from a dime-a-dance hall by gangland heavy Marty 'The Gimp' Snyder (James Cagney), Ruth hits the heights of Ziegfeld Follies stardom, but also comes under the wrath of his physical and emotional abuse. For the only time in his career, Cagney requested that his name be billed after Day's in the credits.
Crafted after Jean Kerr's autobiographical novel, PLEASE DON'T EAT THE DAISIES is a zany family comedy with Day the exasperated mother to a brood of troublemaking young boys, affectionately called "The Monsters". Loosely based on Kerr's own life (she was married to revered and feared New York theatre critic Walter Kerr), the film co-stars David Niven and Janis Paige, and introduced Day's sunny rendition of the Title Song.
Extra features will replicate those on the previous DVD releases:
Romance on the High Seas

Please Don't Eat the Daisies

What's not to like w/ Doris Day???
Admittedly I love the old movies and having a collection that includes Day's first movie was too enticing to ignore.

I remember these from TV when I was a kid.
Still love the old movies. A good stoy well told is timeless. These classics will still entertain and go well with a bowl of popcorn and evening at home.

She's the best!
Can't go wrong here. A few roles of her's that are not in her usual pretty, married, house mom pattern. Calamity Jane is something special. I've watched it several times.
