Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Doris Day fans will be skipping with joy and setting curlers in their hair with excitation at the prospect of this bargain three-pack containing three of her fine films.
Young at Heart: This 1954 musical remake of Four Daughters stars Doris Day as a well-bred New England woman who marries a chip-on-his-shoulder musician (Frank Sinatra). Lots of tears, yes, but this version of Fannie Hurst's novel is considerably cheered up from the 1938 tearjerker. Dorothy Malone and Elizabeth Fraser play Day's sisters (a fourth sister present in Four Daughters was written out), Robert Keith is the paterfamilias to a bunch of musical prodigies, and Gig Young is entertaining as the composer-boarder who tries deflecting the sisters' interest in him by bringing Sinatra home one day. Both Day and Sinatra really shine in this, and the songs include the Johnny Richards-Caroline Leigh title tune, which became part of Sinatra's standard repertoire. --Tom Keogh
The Thrill of It: Doris plays the wife of an obstetrician (James Garner), bored with PTA meetings and boiling catsup, who lands a job selling soap on TV, much to hubby's consternation.
Lover Come Back: Rock Hudson and Doris Day had one of the sweetest chemistries in the movies--as demonstrated in several light comedies, including this film's predecessor, 1959's Pillow Talk. In both a handsome, duplicitous Hudson is duped--and then falls for--an earnest Day. In Lover Come Back, the two play Jerry Webster and Carol Templeton, rival advertising agents, vying for the same clients--until Jerry makes up a product, Vip, to get out of a scrape. As Madison Avenue catches Vip fever, Jerry falls deeper into the façade--and into love with Carol, who schemes to steal the non-existent account away from him. Tony Randall plays Peter Ramsay, Webster's hapless boss. While Day and Hudson are as adorable as ever (and would continue to be in 1964's Send Me No Flowers), a standout is fellow Pillow Talk and Send Me No Flowers co-star Randall. He's an effective foil--both comically and physically (as he stands next to the much taller Hudson). Their brands of humour blend charmingly: Hudson's sardonic coyness, Day's innocent sweetness and Randall's nervous edginess. --N.F. Mendoza

I loved the three videos in this box set from start to finish. "Young at Heart" introduced me to the wonders of Sinatra, who sings "One for my Baby, Young at Heart, and, my fav, One of those things," amongst other fab songs. Sinatra and Day really shine in this heart-warming musical.
"The Thrill of It All" is about a doctor (James Garner) who becomes jealous of his wife's (Doris Day) new found celebrity from a soap advertisement. It is completely hilarious! I laughed at every moment of this fantastic film!
"Lover Come Back" is also a great comedy - this time Doris was partnered with Rock Hudson. The two make great viewing. The chemistry between them, coupled with the script results in a film people will watch time and time again!
You don't need to be a fan of Doris Day to enjoy this great box set. It is for all ages and will make everyone laugh, guaranteed!

what more can I say? - this box set combines three of the absolute best Day films - and each video with a different fab male lead - Frank Sinatra, James Garner and Rock Hudson. What more could a girl ask for! Buy it now before the distributor deletes it like they normally do.....
