... View MoreIt's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
... View MoreThe movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
... View MoreCopyright 13 December 1965 by Martin Melcher Productions—Arcola Pictures. Released through 20th Century-Fox Film Corp. New York opening at neighborhood cinemas: 24 December 1965. U.S. release: 22 December 1965. U.K. release: 17 January 1966. Australian release: 23 December 1965. Sydney opening at the Regent. 9,175 feet. 102 minutes.SYNOPSIS: Mike Harper (Rod Taylor), an executive in the firm of Baird Woolens, is sent to England by his company to try to boost its European sales. His wife, Janet (Doris Day), surprises him by renting a rambling house in the country, instead of the apartment he wanted in the vicinity of his office. Mike's work soon causes him to spend considerable time in London, and Janet begins to suspect something fishy between him and his secretary, Claire (Maura McGiveney). Janet's landlady, Vanessa (Hermione Baddeley) advises Janet to make Mike jealous by pretending an interest in someone else. Janet decides that the someone else will be Paul Bellari (Sergio Fantoni), a suave antique dealer.COMMENT: This second and final film from TV director, Ralph "Bedtime Story" Levy, is even less interesting than his first effort. In fact, to describe "Do Not Disturb" as very mild fun would be to generously overpraise this rather pedestrian picture. Poor Doris Day is forced into shameless mugging to extract even a few half-chuckles out of this very dull script that was obviously derived from a third-rate stage play. Indifferent direction doesn't help. Nor does inept photography. (Hard to believe it's credited to Leon Shamroy, with all that illusion-shattering make-up so patently revealed in incompetent close-ups).The movie was obviously filmed on the cheap too. And in addition to other shortcomings, only two songs for Miss Day — and one of those over the credit titles. Totally uninspired songs too!All that can be said in the film's favor is that the players try very hard — though only one, Maura McGiveney's nicely calculating secretary, is worth mentioning. Fans had a right to feel short-changed by this entertainment-starved and technically below standard offering from TV director Ralph Levy. Miss Day herself describes it as "a terrible script". She was right. Dead right! I should give it "5", but I don't have the heart! OTHER VIEWS: Doris Day has saved worse productions than this, and she desperately tries to keep the whole thing going, giggling, shrieking and getting delightfully drunk Yet the material defeats everyone in the end. — Monthly Film Bulletin.
... View MoreRomantic dud with Rod Taylor and Doris Day, both of whom would do far better the following year in "The Glass Bottom Boat."In this film they're both married and living in England for his business purposes.Hermione Baddeley is wasted here briefly appearing as the owner of the place they're living in and seeing Taylor with his secretary, incorrectly assumes the worst and arranges for Day to have a lover. Her comedic talents aren't shown here.The movie quickly falls apart with erroneous relationships, a drunken Day with a man she had gone off with to purchase furniture, only to get locked in his store with Taylor finding them and assuming the worst.Then, there is his secretary who has romantic designs of her own only to have Day be her among his business associates. The ending, like the rest of the film, is a complete farce.
... View MoreI'm afraid the title - sequence sets the tone for "Do not disturb". Shoddy,clichéd,badly thought - out and not funny. The establishing shot of London,England is accompanied by a faux Nelson Riddle arrangement of "Rule Brittania",we see Miss Day make her entrance in a London,England Taxi Cab,to be met at the kerb by a London,England,Bobby who wears his helmet strap as if he fears it might blow off.We have some amusing dialogue about how confusing English money is before she pays eight shillings and sixpence,assisted by an English City Gent and a "cockney" cab driver.O.K.,enough already,we're in England. Just to make sure we get it,the same cab turns up outside Doris's big house in rural Kent (Nah,Guv,no can do,it's outside the twelve mile limit). She and hubby Mr R.Taylor(not at all comfortable) have a nice Morgan which neither can drive,and nearly every car on England's roads seems to be a pastel - shaded MGB Roadster. Miss H.Baddeley is as you might expect as the posh owner of dear Doris's house. We have long drawn - out Foxhunting jokes,misunderstandings between Doris and Rod,and an obligatory drunk scene before it all ends happily. Co - produced by Doris's hubby,"Do not disturb" should have been left to "proper" film makers who might have been able to breathe a bit of life into it. As it is,it sinks weighed down by its mediocrity.Sorry,Doris.
... View MoreI taped this movie off of American Movie Classics and its certainly one of her top movies. She is certainly not the virgin goddess we are used to seeing. It tells a truth about marriage in the early sixties before womens liberation. Rod Taylor is excellent as the no nonsense businessman who also knows how to charm but forgets that he has to balance his business life with his married life to the very charming and sexy Doris Day. She is as charming here as in the Glass Bottom Boat which has been released on DVD. This one has it all jealousy, sensuality, an excellent script and good casting. Doris Day needs to fend off the boredom that comes with being the lady of the house. She charms the men and she charms the children and she charms the animals. These Americans in London are the exact opposite of the ugly Americans. You will like this one if you can get your hands on it.
