The technicolor is so so gorgeous & pastel 98% of the time (leaving out the 2% for the sudden dramatic contrasts that are like a buffet for the eyes) which mixes beautifully with Doris’ wardrobe by Milo Anderson. The production value of this is just off the charts I’m in…
AdrianMar 27, 2021Lord, what a delight this is. It's a sparkling, joyous explosion of charm, one that's triggered by Doris Day but ably continued by a nearly flawless cast, including fantastic supporting performances from Oscar Levant (whose persona would fit right in with 21st century humor…
sakana1Aug 4, 2020Summer Under The Stars: S.Z. Sakall Directed by Michael Curtiz, Romance on the High Seas is a delightful musical that features Doris Day's film debut. Honestly, if I hadn't known before watching the film, I would have been surprised to find out it was her debut. She…

Forget the Bermuda Triangle, the greatest mystery of our generation is whether or not I like Jack Carson. Honestly couldn’t tell you. This is a surprisingly fun mistaken-identity comedy. Doris Day is delightful, Oscar Levant is hilarious (I wish he made more movies!). This…
BreJul 20, 2021Absolutely delightful! 🥰 Doris Day is lovely in her film debut!
reed 📽️Jul 2, 2022Doris Day's debut is an absolutely wonderful musical, with good tunes, good jokes, and chemistry between the star and Jack Carson (her acting mentor) that is simply off the charts. Don DeFore and Janis Paige play a married couple whose mutual suspicions unwittingly set…

63/100 One of the most theatrical final shots I've ever seen; a dizzying pullback into the realm of full-frame intoxication. Michael Curtiz, even with his breezier works, manages to stir the soul and fill the heart. Technicolor goodness.
SilentDawnApr 30, 2022Michael Curtiz's utter mastery in the 40s combined with Doris Day's magnetic screen debut floored me. Technicolor majesty with pastels as far as the camera can see.
AJApr 2, 2020Doris Day-pril is off to a fantastic start (natch!) with this star-making debut performance! It’s the kind of mistaken identity film that had been done to death by 1948, but she’s so goshdarn delightful and everything just sails along beautifully. I honestly thought this…

As a brash little night-club singer who is supposed to act like a swell, Miss Day is most plainly the victim of the writers' unutterable ennui. Furthermore, Michael Curtiz's direction of her and the rest of the cast is as slapdash and void of distinction as it can professionally be. Not only has he let the young lady spread noisiness all over the place, but he has wasted the few minor talents that he had in a most provoking way.
