I like Dorid Day movies and Please Don't Eat the Daisies is a cute movie starring Doris Day and David Niven. It is about a theater critic, his wife and their harried lives with their rambunctious young sons and they all move into a large fixer upper house in the country, etc. FYI: look for a young Stanley Livingston from My Three Sons, He played Chip in that classic sitcom and in this movie he plays Doris Day's and David Niven's son Gabriel.
Glad to see this on DVD
I've always liked this movie and own it on VHS. I'm a young guy and I think Doris Day's performance here is great. They just don't make em like this anymore.
Someone asked me last year what my idea of an ideal woman was.
I said, "Madeline Stowe in 12 Monkeys...or Doris Day in Please Don't Eat the Daisies."
Of all Day's movies, this is a personal favorite
I consider this movie one of my favorites, because no matter how many times I turn it on, it never fails to make me feel good. I love the quippy dialogue between the boys and their parents, and especially the banter between Niven and Day. It's just an adorable, feel-good romantic (married-couple-with-kids romantic, at that) comedy. That may be why I like it so much. Not that this is a new idea for Doris Day, as she is consistently found in roles where she is either married to her job, if not a husband as well, but this one just feels more natural for her. It may sound odd, but she comes across as much more relaxed and natural playing the part of the busy mother and wife than in any other movie of hers I've seen.
After her long and wholesome run as America's Sweetheart, Doris Day quit movies with this well-scrubbed picture. With Six You Get Eggroll--oof, what a title--caught the wave of blended-family comedies, coming just after Yours, Mine and Ours and just before TV's The Brady Bunch. Doris has three sons, and new beau Brian Keith has an 18-year-old daughter (the still-baby-faced Barbara Hershey). It's family-friendly sitcom stuff, with both Day and Keith doing their comfortable, patented thing; when the two of them are onscreen together it's like watching a couple of old sweaters mate. This one is straight formula for fans only, although connoisseurs of camp will enjoy the whiff of Aquarius in the otherwise square proceedings (it was 1968, after all) when Doris goes to a...

A very light-hearted "feel good" movie. It is a great one for leaving your troubles behind, sitting back and being pulled into funny, yet often suspenseful situations. Doris Day as a suspected spy coming through as a real trooper fighting back. One of the better Doris Day comedies. Also, the number of famous actors in this movie gives the viewer a historical view on the evolution of true comedic talent.

Doris Day was nearing her popular zenith, and Jack Lemmon just hitting his stride, when they teamed up for It Happened to Jane, a small-town comedy in the Capra vein. Doris is a widowed mom whose Maine lobster business is snarled by railroad tycoon Ernie Kovacs (hiding behind a skullcap and a huge cigar), the "meanest man in America." Her lawsuit against him, aided by lawyer-suitor Lemmon, gains national headlines. This is a curious movie: crucial scenes seem to have been left unwritten, while sequences involving Cub Scouts and an oddly impassioned Town Hall Meeting go on endlessly. Director Richard Quine was making some fun movies around this time (Bell, Book, and Candle), but the fizz is only intermittent here, mostly provided by Lemmon's jack-in-the-box youthfulness....

Clark Gable's bluff masculinity is a big part of the story and appeal of Teacher's Pet, to such a degree that his age (near 60) doesn't seem like such a problem as he romances perky Doris Day. Gable is an old-school newspaperman who scoffs at the idea of journalism being taught in night school; hard knocks and shoe leather are his preferred textbooks. Naturally, Doris teaches journalism in night school. Gable masquerades as an inexperienced student in order to prove her wrong, which brings forth some fairly labored complications, presented in pedestrian style by director George Seaton. The film is too long for its own good, but as an illustration of movie-star value, it's a convincer--Gable and Day are completely, effortlessly within their established personas. Gig Young adds pep... More Info about this DVD Actor(s): Clark Gable - Doris Day Director(s): George Seaton DVD Release Date: Released the 19 April 2005 Usually ships in 24 hours

James Garner substitutes for Rock Hudson in this hilarious Doris Day outing. Housewife Beverly Boyer (Day) happens by chance to give an executive of Happy Soap an honest appraisal of one of his company's products. Charmed by her forthright and honest manner, he makes Beverly the company spokesperson. When she becomes an advertising sensation, her husband (Garner) has to deal with the social ramifications of his wife making more money than he does. Day and Garner are both in good form, and Garner nicely portrays the mounting frustration of bewildered husband Gerald.
Gerald's refusal to accept that Beverly's new career infringes on her duties as housewife is, of course, outdated thinking today. Nevertheless, the film works and is sincerely funny. No wonder: comedian Carl Reiner cowrote... More Info about this DVD Director(s): Norman Jewison DVD Release Date: Released the 04 February 2003 Usually ships in 6 to 11 days
