Summary: 5 Stars
There was never an actress that can do romantic comedies like Doris day. She is one of a kind. The movie is entertaining and full of great songs.DVD Review: " Ain't We Got Fun!"
Summary: 5 Stars
In this delightful sequel to "On Moonlight Bay" Doris Day and Gordon MacRae return again (in their final film together) to star as Marjorie Winfield And William Sherman, the young lovers.
Thanksgiving is fast approaching and there is trouble at the Winfield house! Marjorie has had a fight with her fiance, Bill, about a misunderstanding that occurred over Bill's deciding to wait until he has a job to get married. So for now the weddings off! Marjorie's younger brother, Wesley, has made friends with their Thanksgiving turkey (that he named Gregory) and refuses to take it to the butcher, and father's supposedly writing love letters to a French actress who's doing a show in town!(The story is similar to that of "A Date With Judy".)
But as the story goes on, all misunderstandings are cleared up and Bill and Marjorie are love birds once again and are celebrating the twentieth anniversary of her parents. This and "On Moonlight Bay" are two of my favorite Doris Day and Gordon MacRae musicals!
DVD Review: I love this movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is so cute and funny. Doris Day and Gordon MacRae work very well together. This is a great movie to watch around the Thanksgiving holiday and when you see it you will know why :)DVD Review: By The Light Of The Silvery Moon (1953) - Doris Day
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this film and the first of the two films On Moonlight Bay (1951) with one of my favourite actresses and singers Doris Day.
I remember as a child watching this and loving every minute of it. I am now 42 years old and was not even born when it was released but have seen it on TV many times and have copies of them on Video. My Mum got me into Doris Day with her music and films but this and its sequel are my favourites of hers and Mum's to.
It is a true family musical film about childhood, growing up, life in the early 19th Century USA and World War 2 and beyond.
I ordered my copy and the first film from Amazon USA as I could not wait for it to become available on Region 2 DVD. I can now at last retire my old worn out VHS Tapes and watch them on my DVD Player.
Description of By the Light of the Silvery Moon
"On Moonlight Bay" stars Doris Day and Gordon MacRae are back together in top tune-crooning form for the further adventures of a small-town family turning the corner from World War I into the Roaring '20s. Year: 1953 Director: David Butler Starring: Doris Day, Gordon MacRae, Billy GrayThe huge popularity of the nostalgic On Moonlight Bay prompted this 1953 sequel, which recaptures the first film's small-town, post-WWI spirit. Because young lovers Doris Day and Gordon MacRae are already together, the movie needs some sort of trumped-up conflict to separate them for a while; it comes with MacRae's decision to postpone their wedding until he gets his financial legs. Yawn. But don't worry, the subplots abound, including younger brother Billy Gray pilfering a prize Thanksgiving turkey, and dad Leon Ames suspected of romancing a visiting French music-hall star. Naturally there are vintage songs, including umpteen renderings of the classic title song (you won't need the bouncing ball to sing along) and Day and MacRae casually bopping out new lyrics to "Ain't We Got Fun." Also returning for the sequel are Rosemary DeCamp as the patient mother and shameless scene-stealer Mary Wickes as the bossy maid. And check it out: future talk-show host Merv Griffin cheerleading during the finale at an outdoor ice rink. Day and MacRae twinkle so aggressively that they sometimes resemble salesmen for a particular kind of Hollywood backlot America that probably never existed, but the whole thing is almost impossible to resist. --Robert Horton
