DVD Reviews of Do Not Disturb

DVD Review: One of Day's lesser romantic comedies...but still worth a look
Summary: 4 Stars

For the longest time, DO NOT DISTURB was one of the most hard-to-find Doris Day movies. This long-awaited DVD release corrects that problem, but watching the film for the first time the other night, it became all-too-clear why this comedy caper took it's time getting to home video.

It's just not that funny.

The charm of Doris Day could save even the most turgid movie ("Julie", "It's a Great Feeling"), so DO NOT DISTURB is watchable if only for her delightful screen presence. The plot reads as follows: Janet Harper (Day) suspects her business-minded husband Mike (Rod Taylor) of fooling around with his female assistant. In order to make him jealous, Janet's landlady Vanessa (Hermione Baddeley) invents a "lover" for Janet, but the plan spirals into farce when Janet is whisked off to Paris by handsome antique dealer Paul (Sergio Fantoni). When Mike learns of Janet's disappearance, he follows and later discovers Janet and Paul in a very compromising position!

Just your average sex farce storyline, that was played far more stylishly in "Lover Come Back" with Day and Rock Hudson 4 years earlier. Day and Rod Taylor share a solid chemistry, though, and would be paired again the following year in "The Glass Bottom Boat".

A highlight of the Doris Day romantic comedies from this period are Day's trendy wardrobe of clothes, but even those are very ordinary in DO NOT DISTURB. Day was dressed here by Ray Aghayan for the very first time (he later did her clothes for both "Move Over, Darling" and "Caprice"), but he costumes Day in some dreadful tweedy coats and a tangerine-coloured evening dress which is cut in a most unflattering way for Day's figure.

The DVD of DO NOT DISTURB is packaged very nicely with a smart assortment of bonus features. "The Rise of Doris Day" briefly touches on Day's rise in showbusiness and her early singing background; "Doris Day's Best Friends" explores the various animal awareness organizations in which Day still actively works. "The Extra Prince: Michael Romanoff" gives a fascinating look at the Hollywood bit-player and royal imposter who later founded Romanoff's Restaurant. "The Music Man: Mort Garson" explores the life and career of the composer who later broke new ground with Moog music. There are also restoration comparisons, trailers and photo galleries for DO NOT DISTURB plus ones for "Move Over, Darling" and "Caprice" (both sold separately).

(Single-sided, dual-layer disc).
