Rating:  - Another A+ pick for Doris Day admirers!
Yet another great DD movie - she was my fav growing up. Was glad to add this one to my collection.
Rating: - Do Not Disturb
I love Doris Day and any movies that she is in! There are better ones than this one but it pleasantly entertains you for a couple of hours.
Rating: - Great stuff!!!
OK, I admit it, I'm a great Doris Day fan, and this one is one of my favorites! Don't get me wrong, I love all the other movies, especially the ones with the Day-Hudson combination, but this one is very funny and the English element adds a different humorous touch - the scene with the fox & dogs cracks me up every time. Not to mention the wardrobe in this one rocks! Also, Rod Taylor in his all American rugged-type husband is really a nice change to the clean-cut, smooth leading men of that era. Definately 5 stars from me, and about time it was released on dvd....
Rating:  - Not Bad, But Not Memorable
Doris Day was among Hollywood's few truly bankable stars during the late 1950s and early 1960s, particularly noted for her comic talents in such frothy farces as PILLOW TALK, PLEASE DON'T EAT THE DAISIES, and THAT TOUCH OF MINK. Unfortunately, as the 1960s progressed her films did not, and although her films remained popular they were seen as increasingly out of touch with the tone of the times. The situation was not helped by Day's husband-manager Martin Melcher, who developed the habit of signing Day to film projects Day herself found uninspired. Such was the case with the 1965 flyweight comedy DO NOT DISTURB.
The play seems to be a grab-bag of ideas from previous Day films, the story of a pretty but slightly klutzy wife (Day) and a neglectful husband (Rod Taylor) who find themselves at romantic cross purposes courtesy of their landlady Vanessa (Hermione Baddeley), a sexy secretary (Maura McGiveney), and a handsome antiques dealer(Sergio Fantoni.) The roles are one-dimensional, the plot turns are predictable, and the dialogue trivial. Both Day and Taylor respond by overplaying, sometimes to the point of shrillness. Even so, they do manage to inject enough life into the film to make it mildly amusing--and the supporting cast is quite charming. When all is said and done, the film is most memorable for the sight of Doris Day in a brilliantly orange evening gown as she struggles on the dance floor to shake away an olive dropped down her back.

Rating: - One of Day's lesser romantic comedies...but still worth a look
For the longest time, DO NOT DISTURB was one of the most hard-to-find Doris Day movies. This long-awaited DVD release corrects that problem, but watching the film for the first time the other night, it became all-too-clear why this comedy caper took it's time getting to home video.
It's just not that funny.
The charm of Doris Day could save even the most turgid movie ("Julie", "It's a Great Feeling"), so DO NOT DISTURB is watchable if only for her delightful screen presence. The plot reads as follows: Janet Harper (Day) suspects her business-minded husband Mike (Rod Taylor) of fooling around with his female assistant. In order to make him jealous, Janet's landlady Vanessa (Hermione Baddeley) invents a "lover" for Janet, but the plan spirals into farce when Janet is whisked off to Paris by handsome antique dealer Paul (Sergio Fantoni). When Mike learns of Janet's disappearance, he follows and later discovers Janet and Paul in a very compromising position!
Just your average sex farce storyline, that was played far more stylishly in "Lover Come Back" with Day and Rock Hudson 4 years earlier. Day and Rod Taylor share a solid chemistry, though, and would be paired again the following year in "The Glass Bottom Boat".
A highlight of the Doris Day romantic comedies from this period are Day's trendy wardrobe of clothes, but even those are very ordinary in DO NOT DISTURB. Day was dressed here by Ray Aghayan for the very first time (he later did her ... Read More
