For Classic Movie Fans

[cinderella]

Lovely, first, to answer your ? on your rep post - yep, you guessed it, it's me Carmin, as I was known on the dash site, and the BFD site as well. Thought that name was getting a little rusty, so I reverted to my old alter-ego, Cinderella, lol.

Re your post here...I too love Doris, even tho she was a bit smaltzy and was in all those 'fluff' films with Rock, et al. A sidebar...Doris Day had a very successful career as a singer before entering film. She sang with a big band of the 40's - can't remember which one at the moment. She was in the band very early - I think she was about 19.

However, if you want to see the range of talent our girl Doris has, make a point to see 'Love Me or Leave Me'. Doris is fantastic in this. An added plus is James Cagney, his role in this is a nod to his 'gangster' films of the past. Both he and Doris give a tour-de-force performance. The story is based on the life of 20's big singing star Ruth Etting. I never heard of Ruth Etting until I saw this movie. I am going to google her on YouTube - hopefully they have some clips of her singing.

I liked Sophia Loren and Peter O'Toole in "Man of LaMancha" but I don't know if the movie is considered a classic?

I'm also a huge Doris Day fan! Pillow Talk, The Glass Bottom Boat, and With Six, You Get Eggroll are among my favorite movies that she stars in! I love her voice too!

I enjoyed spending time here tonight! Thanks to everyone here for all the great commentary and special thanks going out to Jet - for sharing all your talent and wealth of knowledge!!!
