Product Description:
A FUN-FILLED MUSICAL DAY WITH DORIS AND HER SPECIAL GUESTS

In 1975, legendary movie and singing star DORIS DAY followed her long-running television series, The Doris Day Show, with her second and final top-rated CBS-TV special, DORIS DAY TODAY.

The vibrant and versatile Day teams up with singer-songwriter John Denver for a playful Sunshine Medley after the two performers offer a humorous duet of Exactly Like You. Denver also presents his popular composition Follow Me with Doris singing harmony.

Comic Tim Conway (The Carol Burnett Show) pairs with Doris for a couple of comedy sketches and mimic Rich Little gives hilarious impersonations of Doris' famous film co-stars Cary Grant, Jimmy Stewart, Kirk Douglas, Jack Lemmon and James Cagney as Doris vocalizes songs from her classic motion pictures Love Me Or Leave Me, Teacher's Pet, Young Man With A Horn, Calamity Jane and The Man Who Knew Too Much.

A seductive Day joins the Lockers dancing troupe while singing a sexy Midnight At The Oasis. and the entire cast comes together for a rousing rendition of Anything Goes. Day's stunning voice is also heard in a soulful version of Day By Day (from the musical Godspell) and a deeply emotional The Way We Were.

Bonus features on this DVD include Doris' entire appearance on The John Denver Family Special (1974), a rare 1940s musical film short of Doris with the Les Brown Orchestra and a Doris Day Album Discography.

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - enjoyment of a legend
I have been a fan of Doris Day for a long time and enjoy watching her and listening to her sing. There aren't many stars today that will ever be like her - stars of her legend was slowly fading away and this video will keep that image for a very long time.


Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Love Doris, but stopped 20 min into movie
Why are my Doris Day DVD's not working free of problems? None of my other DVD's do this. I want to be sent another one of the last two that don't work. Please, can you help me?


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Doris is TOPS
I've loved Doris Day for 50 years. This DVD is wonderful. How I miss seeing her on TV and in movies. This is a must for all of her fans.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Definitely for Day and John Denver Fans-LOTS of bonus material
This 1975 "Special" is a time capsule. In the 70s network TV was doing lots of Variety Shows (have you seen a "variety" show on TV in the last 20 years?) and you could see all kinds of music in one hour.

This show - the main reason for this DVD - was produced by George Schlatter, who was responsible for "Laugh-In" during the same time period. You can tell from the sets and the corny jokes and the comic sketches with Tim Conwa But Day looks super and the print is great! Rich Little does a nice bit with Day where she sings songs from all her movies and Little recreates the leading men. And there a huge amount of screen time given to John Denver.. enough that this could have been a Day/Denver special.

The bonus features are nice addition:
A 1940s "Soundies" of Day with Les Brown's band (taken from the wonderful "Music Classics" series that MPI has put out and which I watch often.
