DELIGHTFULLY DAFFY DORIS SAVES THE DAYNov 06, 2006
By Paul Brogan
Right before the Christmas, 1965 release of "Do Not Disturb", Fox executive Richard Zanuck noted that the film's star, Doris Day was the only surefire actress at the box-office in Hollywood. Doris Day movies made money and the public flocked to see Miss Day whenever a new film was released. "Disturb" continued that pattern, earning 20th Century Fox a nice profit although not quite in the league of earlier and some latter Day films. Nevertheless, it kept Miss Day in the box-office top ten. The 1965 list, released right after this film's release, showed her the top female star at the box-office, placing third on the list.
"Do Not Disturb" is lightweight, harmless, amusing fluff. It is saved by some great production values including the cinematography of Oscar winner, Leon Shamroy, Miss Day's energetic performance and some of the most beautiful outfits the star has ever worn including a drop-dead gorgeous evening gown that clearly indicates that Miss Day was one of the silver screen's sexiest actresses.
Unfortunately the writing material given the gifted star doesn't give her the opportunities she deserves to shine as the skilled comic she has proven to be repeatedly. However, she makes the most of what is available.
The film represents her first on-screen teaming with Rod Taylor. They work well together although the chemistry they display the following year in MGM's hilarious "Glass Bottom Boat" isn't evidenced.
The opening credits are cute, the title song is catchy and rendered expertly by Miss Day. The supporting cast are all capable and features some of Hollywood's best veterans.
The plot about a American couple adjusting to life in London has been done to death previously. A couple of sequences are very funny, however Director Ralph Levy whose greatest fame was helming the hit Burns and Allen series on television in the 50's, is not skillful enough to milk all the laughs from the situation. A Norman Jewison would probably have made it seem funnier.
All this aside, Miss Day is enjoyable and there are some laughs, guffaws and chuckles throughout and the whole thing is pretty to look at.
Time Magazine in reviewing the film referred to it as "Day's Hard Night". It's better than they would lead you to believe.
If your expectations are not for another "Thrill of It All" or "Pillow Talk", "Do Not Disturb" will be a pleasant way to pass a couple of hours.

Lots of great vintage Hollywood fun!Feb 14, 2007
By Ryff Wolf
"tomovieboy70"
It's wonderful to see, finally, this Doris Day comedy on DVD. The formula plays much like the 1963 "Move Over, Darling", but that formula works, and changing it up with new plot incidents, locales, stars and designs makes "Do Not Disturb" a vintage piece of delightful entertainemt. Day is so winning and acts with such effortless ease, that we go right along with the silly sitcom plot devices. In fact, we enjoy them because she brings reality to even the most hackneyed gags. As usual, Day is surrounded by acting and production pros who make the proceedings all the more enjoyable because we don't worry that any element of the film is going to fall apart. "Do Not Disturb" takes us to the far-off lands of England and France via 20th Century Fox's backlot, and wraps everything visual with great style. The costumes for Day are particularly lavish here, including a spectacular floor length, backless, sequined tangerine gown - which she fills with utterly delightful femininity. Rod Taylor is a fine co-star (he's even better with her in 1966's "Glass Bottom Boat"), Hermione Baddeley gets to glam it up as a genteel British countrywoman, and Sergio Fantoni makes a terrific romantic foil. Lots of fizzy fun, great cast and production make this a film that can be viewed repeatedly as the type of romantic comedy that simply could not be made any longer.

A Good PairMar 20, 2007
By Girvan Paterson
I've always felt that the pairing of Doris Day and Rod Taylor was as equally as good as that with James Garner or Rock Hudson, and much undervalued by the 'critics'! Somehow rugged Aussie He-Man Rod, and girl next door Doris, seemed like a perfect match, and they both had an appealing chemistry between them, you got the feeling they enjoyed each others company. 'Do Not Disturb' may not have been quite as good as their other film together [Glass Bottom Boat], but it was a lot better than most 'critics' paint it. A harmless piece of nonsense with some good laughs, and nice photography, it's what I'd class as a good 'no brainer' that you can sit back and watch after a hard day at work, and it's sure to relax you and put a smile on your dial! It's not a screen 'classic', but does what it intends to do, gives some good lighthearted entertainment, just by watching two pros strut their stuff. Rod, more remembered for his tough no nonsense action roles, has a suprisingly good flair for light comedy, and watching these two together, only makes me wish they'd teamed up for a couple more films.

 Doris makes the dayJan 10, 2007
By CJ du PLESSIS
Being a Doris Day fan all my life this is also excellent stuff. Can still recall this movie to this day. Still remember the title song Do not Disturb. For great escapism and good entertainment you cant go wrong.

 Doris Day in a Bad MovieMay 02, 2007
By Oliver Penn
Sometimes, directors are dazzled by the star they are directing. I think this was the case with "Do Not Disturb." Ralph Levy seems to have sat back and NOT directed Doris Day! Forget that this was a lame and utterly silly story and the Day character was just too silly for words (getting angry because her husband was at WORK and not available to help her pick out drapes for their living room, etc.).
In the midst of tremendous social criticism regarding Miss Day's "being out of touch," her husband, Martin Melcher came up with this sub-standard script. This was one of the scripts he brought to Miss Day and her eyes rolled back inside her head. HE'D ALREADY SIGNED FOR HER TO MAKE THE FILM.
Doris is overly "cutesy" and "muggy" throughout. Don't get me wrong, she has her moments here. (1) When she realizes that the children were drinking wine and not coke (2) The fun kickball on the street (3) The charming scene inside the Paris pub where she gets drunk and then lost in the fog. The rest was just junk. In the '60s in party scenes, there was always a dumb blond who starts laughing very loudly; there is some very BAD disco dancing and in true Day tradition, there is a chase scene near the end of the movie with Day running from SOMEone. Rod Taylor looked angry and embarrassed throughout (with good reason) and Doris over-acted all over the place. Thankfully, the two stars redeemed themselves in the funny and well done, "Glass Bottom Boat" the following year.
Doris looked beautiful, as usual, but for the first time, I wasn't crazy about her wardrobe.
