...Doris Day and Danny Thomas? It sounded like an unlikely pairing, but it worked.. Doris Day has such a beautiful voice. I love how slow and sultry it sounds along with the jazz feel. Her songs would be the perfect thing to listen to in a dimly lit room while sipping wine (or maybe brandy in a snifter) and relaxing after a tough day. I liked the pairing of Day and Thomas and how their relationship was presented realistically with all the highs and lows that normal relationships experience.
This film had comedic and dramatic elements that saved it from just being a run of the mill musical chock full of cheesy, forgettable songs. There were some very beautiful songs in this film and some others that I recognized from various episodes of I Love Lucy, strangely enough . Directed by Michael Curtiz, there is no doubt that Curtiz is an underrated director. He seemed to handle all kinds of genres throughout his career with flair.
