I thought it was on Saturday night. My mom was a big Doris Day fan and usually watched the show. I was a young'n to pre-teen while it was on the air.
Sorry, that was Dinah Shore. And she started it in the early '50s before they had changed over to the more modern '50s look from the old '40s look. ;-)
"The one with James Garner was "Move Over Darling" --- this was the movie that Marilyn Monroe and Dean Martin were working on when Marilyn died -- then recast with Garner and Day"
That wasn't bad but the original, "My Favorite Wife" w/Cary Grant was GREAT!
There is no one like her; she is a 'classic' for sure.
You're right. I'm embarrassed because I own the movie and have watched it a gazillion times. Tony Randall was a riot in Send Me No Flowers too.
ooh Cary Grant, another example of a fine specimen. I absolutely love an affair to remember.
She was in "Please Dont Eat The Daisy's" which also starred David Niven.
This and "That Touch of Mink" with Cary Grant are my two fav Doris Day movies.
Rock Hudson was gay. I believe Doris knew this.
Yes, THANK GOD I dodged *that* bullet! While I would've been happy in so many decades past, I was just fine, thank you, coming of age in the '80s! It was SO much more fun and happy than the '90s - and had an edge over the '70s, too. MAN did I get lucky, really!
Just wanted to let those who might be interested know, TCM is running Ronald Reagan movies today including King's Row and my personal favorite "Stallion Road" <-- to me his best movie
Don't be embarrassed!! Simple mistake :-)
I didn't know about the Reagan connection. However, it does not surprise me that Reagan impacted those actors you listed. I suspect the same could be said for perhaps hundreds in Hollywood during the 40's & 50's.
BTW - My uncle was a permanent musician on the Doris Day Show. He also worked for another "lady", when a muscian working for Liberache. LOL
I agree, "My Favorite Wife" was the best and Irene Dunne is another of my fav's
I saw King's Row for the first time 2 weeks ago when TCM had a memorial showing of Reagan's movies. He was so good in it! He was the only one who did not overact. I cannot understand why he was considered a B actor. Everything I saw with him in that day was great!!
I happened to be watching an account of "The Brady Bunch" and Florence Henderson commented on the fact that as soon as she kissed her co-star (can't remember his name) she knew he was gay.
I remember being sceptical that she could tell from a kiss while acting, but later they were interviewing Sherwood Schwartz, and he mentioned that after the first scene with a kiss, that Florence Henderson had come to him and said, "This guy's not Straight". I think she had a reputation as being pretty randy so she probably would have known.
Well considering she had something going with the guy who played her oldest son at one time.. yep that would make her randy
The funniest scene is toward the end when he jumps in the car to go find Doris, thinking Rock is in the car with him. He's yakking away at Rock, then Rock suddenly disgustedly passes him in another car.
Clint Walker was also pretty good as the guy Rock was going to marry Doris off to.
He only became a "B" actor when the Democrats were trying to discredit his popularity. In the final analysis it wasn't acting that made Reagan great -- it was just a stepping stone towards greatness
My wife and I stayed in Carmel recently. We were surprised to see dogs running free down at the beach there, cavorting in the waves, etc. From what we learned, freedom for dogs on the Carmel beach is due to Doris Day.
Amen. He absolutely was great.
