Doris Day may have been the biggest box-office star at the time, but the hot lights looked like they were taking their toll on her in the 1962 "Jumbo." She seemed more than a bit worn out, especially next to the unbelievably bronzed Stephen Boyd. But there's enough to keep you occupied, even if the material feels dated: the incomparable Jimmy Durante and Martha Raye, and the star--an elephant that matches them for style and show-business savvy. I just wish they did more with the Rodgers and Hart songs--"My Romance" should take off. Here it peters out, and so does your excitement! Bummer!
