To watch DO NOT DISTURB with so many years hindsight, it's both a pleasure (as always) to see 'our Doris,' but sad to see that while the time were changing, the formula for Ms. Day's films did not.
DO NOT DISTURB is a typical Doris Day film; mistakes, misunderstandings are all about (this time with Doris and her husband, Rod Taylor), and Doris is thrown into one chaotic situation after another. In MOVE OVER DARLING, Doris got soaked in the car-wash. In DO NOT DISTURB, Doris gets drunk in Paris.
To me, the saddest thing is that While Doris gives it her all - the script does not allow for the turbulent changes that were happening. This film was made 2 years after the Beatles shook America, 3 years after the death of Kennedy. However, things just 'bop' along in DO NOT DISTURB.
It's important to point out that Doris was offered the role of Mrs. Robinson, in THE GRADUATE - a movie that was made only 2 years after DO NOT DISTURB, but, in terms of culture - eons before. (Yes, I know that Doris turned down THE GRADUATE, but, I think if Doris had more faith in herself, and her (solid!) audiences ability to allow her to stretch and grow, she would've been awesome.
As it is, while DO NOT DISTURB is full of all the familiar stock & trade of Ms. Day's earlier films, it's sad for this viewer - to view this film knowing how radical the world was changing outside of Doris' film universe.
