Apparently Doris Day was reluctant to do this film and its subsequent lack of commercial success seems to justify her hesitation...but you wouldn't know it by her performance. Doris is bubbly and breezy in this musical where she plays a struggling but superstitious actor along with her down on their luck troupe of actors.
The best parts of this film revolve around Doris Day's singing and being superstitious...like avoiding walking under a ladder, avoiding a black cat...and then intentionally breaking several mirrors. She is delightful and her wardrobe was fantastic! I especially liked the white number with red stripes and the blue lace poking out the top of another.
I will say I loved the subterfuge to get rid of the oil man's daughter...especially the tossing her of the pot!
The reason to see this film is strictly Doris Day. If you are a fan I think you will get a kick out of her singing " The Superstition Song" and "I wanna sing like an Angel".
