"You sigh the song begins, You speak and I hear violins---It's Magic."

Doris sure captured us all under her spell in her first role as Miss Georgia Garrett in Romance on the High Seas. Georgia is a singer hired by socialite, Mrs. Kent (Janis Paige). Mrs. Kent has suspicions that her husband is cheating on her when he backs out of a trip. She hires Georgia to go in her place on a cruise to South America. Mrs. Kent then is free to spy on her husband. Mr. Kent (Don DeFore) meanwhile has hired a private detective, Peter Virgil (Jack Carson), to trail his wife on her cruise. Talk about lack of trust! The highlight of the film, for me, is when Georgia, posing as Mrs. Kent, and Peter go ashore. They are seated and Georgia begins to sing "It's Magic." It is just beautiful! Soon, Peter and Georgia begin to fall for each other. As this is his client's "wife", Peter knows that this is a no-no. But, have they fallen too far under the spell? **A great cast-Doris Day, Jack Carson, Janis Paige, Don DeFore, and of course SZ Sakall **Terrific songs-"Put 'Em in a Box", "It's Magic", "It's You Or No One", "I'm in Love", "The Tourist Trade", and "Run, Run, Run" **Great dialogue This movie has it all! A must see! Be captivated-it truly is MAGIC!

I have been captivated by Doris Day since I was a little girl. My grandfather played "Romance on the High Seas" and when I heard her sing "It's Magic" I was under her spell! I lack only 8 movies to having all of her films. I was so excited when The Doris Day Show was recently released. Although it isn't her best work, I was still pleased. It is so nice to be able to enjoy a comedy show without having to change the channel because of foul language, immorality, etc. Most of the shows are predictable, but family values shine through them all. Doris Day plays Doris Martin, a widow. She has two young sons and has moved in with her father on a farm. It is very apparent that Mrs. Martin loves her sons and wants only the best childhood for them. Grandpa sometimes has different opinions than Doris, but they always show respect for each other. The Doris Day Show is viewable by children of all ages. It is not laced with sexual innuendos, foul language, sexuality, etc. I wish that someone could recreate today that in a show!
