Silly and dated Doris Day movie
3 February 2018
Normally, it wouldn't be a ringing endorsement to say that the title song is the most memorable part of a movie. However, since Doris Day got her start as a singer and almost always sang the title song during the opening credits of her movies, it's not really an insult. After all, you're watching the movie for her cuteness and her singing, right?

Towards the end of Doris's career, she made a string of very silly, stupid comedies in the sixties. When you watch one of them, you feel sorry for her, and when you watch two of them, you wonder why Hollywood was so mean to continually stick her in such terrible movies. After you've seen three of them, you understand why Doris retired early. They're all pretty interchangeable, so if you decide to include Do Not Disturb as one of your three, you'll be in for some very silly gags, raunchy sex jokes between Rod Taylor and Doris that aren't really raunchy anymore, and some themes that will make modern feminists cringe. Women are bad drivers, women are stupid, women embarrass themselves when they get drunk, etc. If you don't include this one in your Doris-Day-made-terrible-movies marathon, at least listen to the song. It's pretty cute!
