Silver screen icons Doris Day [videorecording] : Love me or leave me ; Romance on the high seas ; Calamity Jane ; Please don't eat the daisies / Warner Bros. Pictures presents.
"Roaring '20s songstress Ruth Etting had everything--the looks, the wiles, the smokey jazz voice, the it. Doris Day's Etting was a career-best dramatic performance, bringing acclaim from critics and a departure from her traditionally sunny roles. Brilliant performances by Day and James Cagney highlight this Academy Award winning story of jazz singing sensation Ruth Etting and the vicious Chicago hood who controlled her life." -- Amazon.com
Calamity Jane: Day and Howard Keel fuss, feud and fall in love as Calamity Jane and Wild Bill Hickok in this entertainment mother lode. At first curvaceous Calamity is too darned busy fighting Indians and cracking a bullwhip to pay mind to such girly what-alls as dresses and perfume. And Wild Bill is too danged busy wooing a dainty chanteuse (Allyn McLerie) to give a hoot about a hotheaded tomboy. But things change in a rootin', tootin' big way when each becomes love's target.
Please don't eat the daisies: A theater critic (Niven), his wife (Day), and their children move to the country where they hope to escape problems of urban living.
Romance on the high seas: Musical about a singer, Georgia Garrett, who takes the place of a socialite on a cruise and finds herself embroiled in the plots and counterplots of a suspicious husband and wife.
