Details

• Release Year: 1953
• Genre: Comedy, Musical, Western
• Plot: Romance on the High Seas (1948); In her maiden film voyage, overnight sensation Doris Day debuts as Georgia Garrett, Michael Curtiz directs, the Epstein Brothers wright, Busby Berkeley guides musical numbers, and Oscar Levant and Jack Carson costar in this colorful film afloat on romantic seas.; ; Calamity Jane (1953); Day and Howard Keel fuss and feud as Calamity Jane and Wild Bill Hickock. Calamity is too busy fighting Indians to pay mind to girly what-alls like dresses and perfume. Wild Bill is busy wooing a dainty chanteuse. But things change when love strikes.; ; Love Me or Leave Me (1955); Roaring '20s songstress Ruth Etting (Day) had looks, a smoky jazz voice, and a Chicago racketeer (James Cagney) who propelled her career even as he mistreated her. This Academy Award® winner is based on Etting's life and loaded with vibrant performances by Day.; ; Please Don't Eat the Daisies (1960); Kate Mackay (Day) has four hurricanes disguised as boys, a monstrosity of a country fixer-upper and a poison-pen drama-critic hubby (David Niven). With Janis Paige, Spring Byington and Richard Haydn providing snappy comic support, this film is breezy family fun.
