Description

Doris Day Collection (5 Disc DVD Box Set), includes 5 classic musicals & comedy films starring Doris Day.

The Pajama Game (1957)
Employees of the Sleeptite Pajama Factory are looking for a whopping seven-and-a-half cent an hour increase and they won't take no for an answer. Babe Williams is their feisty employee representative but she may have found her match in shop superintendent Sid Sorokin. When the two get together they wind up discussing a whole lot more than job actions!
Director: George Abbott, Stars: Doris Day, John Raitt, Carol Haney, Reta Shaw, Barbara Nichols
“The Pyjama Game may not be the greatest musical of all time…, but it's got some memorable songs and dances. And that's enough to carry the day.” Movie Metropolis
“One of the better musicals of its era, and a fascinating fusion of two disparate genres.” MovieMartyr.com

On Moonlight Bay (1951)
The Winfield family moves into a new house in a small town in Indiana. Tomboy Marjorie Winfield begins a romance with William Sherman who lives across the street. Marjorie has to learn how to dance and act like a proper young lady. Unfortunately William Sherman has unconventional ideas for the time (setting is during W.W.I, but the war does not play a major part for most of the movie.) His ideas include not believing in marriage or money, which causes friction with Marjorie's father, who is the local bank vice president.
Director: Roy Del Ruth, Stars: Doris Day, Gordon MacRae, Jack Smith, Mary Wickes
“fun, frothy, and filled with an abundance of good, old-fashioned tunes.” Movie Metropolis
“It's the film that established Doris Day as the girl next door.” Ozus' World Movie Reviews

By the Light of the Silvery Moon (1953)
The trials and tribulations of the Winfield family in small town Indiana as Marjorie Winfield's bo­yfriend, William Sherman, returns from the Army after W.W.I. Bill & Marjorie's on-again, off-again provide the backdrop for other family issues, primarily brought on by little brother Wesley's overactive imagination and tall tales.
Director: David Butler, Stars: Doris Day, Gordon MacRae, Leon Ames, Mary Wickes
“Harmless sequel to On Moonlight Bay, which left Day and MacRae on the brink of marriage at the end of World War I..[plot] gaps are plugged by another batch of nostalgic songs like ‘If You Were the Only Girl in the World’ and ‘Be My Little Bumble Bee’.” Time Out

Please Don't Eat the Daisies (1960)
Drama critic Larry McKay, his wife Kay, and their four sons move from their crowded Manhattan apartment to an old house in the country. While housewife Kay settles into suburban life, Larry continues to enjoy the theater and party scene of New York. Kay soon begins to question Larry's fidelity when he mentions a flirtatious encounter with Broadway star Deborah Vaughn.
Director: Charles Walters, Stars: Doris Day, David Niven, Janis Paige, Spring Byington, Richard Haydn
“Cute little flick, and it has absolutely nothing to do with daisies.” Filmcritic.com
“Doris Day's fluffy comedy, made at the height of her popularity, is based on Jean Kerr (married to film critic Walter Kerr), and co-stars a smooth David Niven as her husband.” EmanuelLevy.Com

The Glass Bottom Boat (1966)
Jennifer Nelson and Bruce Templeton meet when Bruce reels in her mermaid suit leaving Jennifer bottomless in the waters of Catalina Island. She later discovers that Bruce is the big boss at her work (a research lab). Bruce hires Jennifer to be his biographer – only to try and win her affections. However, there's a problem. Bruce's friend General Wallace Bleeker believes that Jennifer is a Russian spy, and he has her placed under surveillance. Then, when Jennifer catches on…Watch Out!
Director: Frank Tashlin, Stars: Doris Day, Rod Taylor, Arthur Godfrey, John McGiver, Dom DeLuise
“It's just a wonderfully stupid comedy.” Ozus' World Movie Reviews
“part romantic comedy, part spy spoof. Expectedly, there are some fine musical numbers, mistaken identity humor, a little slapstick, and romantic tension. Some of the scene-stealing comic talents in the supporting cast, including Dom DeLuise and Dick Martin, shine. It's a bit uneven and overlong, and the hi-tech gadget bits are silly (worthwhile only to see what the sixties' view of "hi-tech” was), but on the whole, the film is lots of fun."
