Plantiana Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.
Develiker terrible... so disappointed.
Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
gavin6942 American couple Mike (Rod Taylor) and Janet Harper (Doris Day) move to England for Mike's work, his company which deals in wool textiles and wool fashions. Despite Mike's want for them to live in a flat in the heart of London, Janet, who is not a big city girl, ignores his want and instead finds them a house to rent thirty miles outside of London in Kent, which means that Mike has to commute into town by train.Not much seems to be written about this film. Why not? It is a decent romantic comedy and has the fun theme of Americans in Europe, particularly London and Paris. Is there not someone who has analyzed the films of Doris Day? Though not the greatest movie and not one I am likely to watch again, it really does alright for what they were going for. I guess at some point the director was replaced and the film fell behind schedule, but this does not seem obvious to me.
edwagreen Romantic 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.
TheLittleSongbird Now I didn't hate Do Not Disturb, but it was nothing special really. It does have its good points though. I loved the fun title sequence, the catchy title song and the drunk scene in the middle scene. While nothing spectacular, the production values are quite nice and the music is good. And Doris Day, the talented and endearing actress/singer she is, really makes the most of what she has.What I didn't like about Do Not Disturb so much was that Rod Taylor came across as one of Day's more blander co-stars and does resort to overacting. But I think what did hurt the film more was its thin script, predictable plotting(albeit some moderately funny scenes), elephantine pacing and sit-com-ish direction.Overall, Do Not Disturb isn't terrible as such, but it could have been better and Day did deserve much more. 5/10 Bethany Cox
kelly_emma_davey I loved this film, it was just as good as 'The Glass Bottom Boat' which was to follow the year after. Some very funny scenes as Janet Harper (Doris Day) tries to adjust to life in England. The pairing of Doris Day and the sexy Rod Taylor is excellent and unique - they make a great pair. Traditional Doris Day kind of plot where someone gets the wrong end of the stick. Funny bedroom farce scene towards the end. Highly recommended!
