![Rock Hudson Comedy Collection [DVD]](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81sCzQCCOsL._AC_UL160_SR160,160_.jpg)
I grew up watching Doris Day movies and was delighted when "Do Not Disturb" was released to DVD. I enjoyed the chemistry between Rod and Doris on screen in this movie and "The Glass bottom Boat". Rod always appeared to be a macho but uptight character, while Doris remained bubbly and likeable, clearly controlling the relationship in the passive-aggressive style of the American girlfriend/housewife of the 50s and 60s.
When I first saw "Do Not Disturb" as a child, I thought it was perfectly normal for a pretty housewife to be married to a man whose company transferred him to a place like London and have all of the money in the world they needed. Watching it now, I was amused at how easily she spends his hard earned money that he seems to be so stressed about making. Let's take some examples; Doris buys a large country house complete with servants in the English countryside, goes on a shopping spree for antiques in Paris, travels to Scotland to explain things to her husband after he "catches" her in the arms of the handsome Parisian antique dealer, buys an evening gown and matching coat (and of course had her hair and makeup done) at the hotel gift shop in time to attend a party that same evening. Wow! The wool business must be profitable.
While I enjoy the entire movie, my favorite scene is the "discovery" of Doris's character in what appears to be the morning after a champagne/wine induced passionate night in Paris. I love the slow burn evident in Rod's body language and the sheer horror displayed on Doris's face, when she realizes she isn't exactly sure what happened.
Of course, Rod's character comes to his senses, gets worried about her because she hasn't arrived home, blows it one more time when his attractive "assistant" shows up at the party, has to worry all over again until, through of another series of mishaps, spots Doris running around between hotel rooms in a night gown.
Ultimately, he stops taking her for granted and they live happily ever after. The end titles suggest they have a baby. A[...] That's the fairy tale world a little girl like me believed was possible due to Doris Day. I relive those feelings as I watch the movie now.
Well done Doris and Rod!
