This is one of the most awful movies I've ever seen. Doris Day is wonderful - obviously it must have been hard for her to not be charming and sing delightfully.
Truthfully, I had to skip ahead constantly to the scenes where I could just see Doris Day, but she keeps being crowded by a complete cast of creeps, not least the two main male characters.
It's one painful French cliché after the other. But nothing is more painful that the "love interest" between Doris Day and Ray Bolger. Brrrrr.
Doris Day must be one of the most badly treated actors in Hollywood, castingwise. It's amazing that she is able to deliver a fresh and spontaneous performance in the midst of that plot, those characters and those costumes.
Skip.
