Do Not Disturb

Actors:  Doris Day, Rod Taylor, Hermione Baddeley, Sergio Fantoni, Maura McGiveney
Rating:  7 out of 10, another of my Christmas.  Day and Taylor continue the real easy chemistry.  They play a married couple trying to settle down in England while he runs a textile firm.  She is trying to set up house in the English countryside and they both are faced with opportunities to cheat on each other.  Fantoni plays a Louis Jourdan look alike who tries to woo Day but earns a right cross for his efforts.  This was one of the last movies where Day was featured as a sexy lead and she more than holds her own.  You can also see her famed love of animals with foxes and goats wandering her English home.  Taylor is solid, as always, and plays the perfect exasperated husband to Day’s occasionally ditzy pronouncements.  This was very light, but highly entertaining 1960’s rom com. 
MVP:  Day, again, as Janet Harper, the funny and sexy harried wife
