One of the Best Doris Comedies of all time.,
By Chris "Chris" (Leeds, Utah United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Please Dont Eat/Daisies (VHS Tape)
This movie was made in the era of Beenie Boppers and Rock Hudson . This movie was a breath of fresh air after all of the other movies that were going on like Bikini Beach, Pajama Party and all of that stuff. This film starred Hollywood Classics. Doris Day & David Niven. This is about a family that lives in New York. The Mackay Family. Well they have 4 little boys that are considered the monsters. Lawrence MacKay (David Niven) is an aspiring PlayWright that was just put in charge as cheif columnist on Movie Review in their local Newspaper. Well Mrs. MacKay (Doris Day) is trying to keep her family together but it is kind of hard when you have 4 little boys that favorite activity is throwing paper bags filled with water out of the window hitting the paserbies on the sidewalk that goes past the apartment building that they live in. Well Mrs. Macakay finally convinces Lawrence that they need to movie out to the country. Well they do but Mr. Mackay has the urge to move out of the country. But Doris won't let him so he stays in a ritzy hotel in New York City close to his office during the week then he comes home on the weekend. Well he meets The beautiful and Seductive Miss Deborah Vaughn (Janis Page) whot tries to get him to movie in with her and have an affair. Well Doris saves the day and the movie ends happily ever after.This movie features the following hit Doris Day Songs. Don't Eat The Daisies Great Movie. Makes a great movie for those nights. When you and your family are huddled around the Television.

Pure Fun All The Way,
By
This review is from: Please Dont Eat/Daisies (VHS Tape)
Based on the popular book by Jean Kerr, PLEASE DON'T EAT THE DAISY is probably the best of Doris Day's 1960s comedies--and it finds her surprisingly paired with David Niven. While the two may seem an unlikely couple, they have extremely good on-screen chemistry, and the film neatly balances its story between the two stars so that neither overshadows the other.Day plays Kate MacKay, mother of four hellions and the long suffering wife of esoteric drama critic Larry MacKay (Niven.) With her husband under seige by every actor, director, and producer in town, Kate decides to move the family to a home in the country--and in the process leaves her husband open to the temptations of Broadway star Deborah Vaughn (Janis Paige.) Before too long, Larry's swelling ego threatens their happy home. The cast is expert, with both Day and Niven extremely enjoyable and Janis Paige memorable as the Broadway siren who attempts to lead Niven astray; the supporting roles are also expertly handled by a cast that includes Spring Byington. The script is witty with a dash of sophistocated sparkle, and unlike most of Day's later comedies manages to avoid the feel of frantic farce. A truly enjoyable outing; pure fun all the way.

A family of six move to the country.,
By James McDonald (Lancaster, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Please Don't Eat the Daisies (VHS Tape)
Doris Day is the mother of four rambunctous children (Charles Herbert, Stanley Livingston and Flip Mark). Her husband (David Niven) is a playwriter who has been hired by a newspaper as a play critic. Not everyone likes him now, but now that he is getting publicity he prefers to stay in the city. Doris Day's dream is to buy a house in the country. That is what they have been planning. They finally buy a big house in the country, but adjusting to country life is different for everyone. Kathryn Card ("I Love Lucy") has a small role. Doris sings "Que Sara Sara" which she first sang in "The Man Who Knew Too Much" (1956). The song was later used in the tv series The Doris Day Show. Please Don't Eat The Daisies became a tv series (1965-67) starring Pat Crowley and Mark Miller with Kim Tyler, Brian Nash, Jason Fithian and Jeff Fithian. Ellen Corby played the maid.
