Doris Day Collection

"Doris Day Collection" contains "Billy Rose's Jumbo," "Calamity Jane," "The Glass Bottom Boat," "Love Me Or Leave Me," "Lullaby Of Broadway," "The Pajama Game," "Please Don't Eat The Daisies" and "Young Man With A Horn." "Billy Rose's Jumbo" - "Calamity Jane" - Deadwood, Dakota Territory, is largely the abode of men, where Indian scout Calamity Jane is as hard-riding, boastful, and handy with a gun as any; quite an overpowering personality. But the army lieutenant she favors doesn't really appreciate her finer qualities. One of Jane's boasts brings her to Chicago to recruit an actress for the Golden Garter stage. Arrived, the lady in question appears (at first) to be a more feminine rival for the favors of Jane's male friends... including her friendly enemy Wild Bill Hickock. "The Glass Bottom Boat" - "Love Me Or Leave Me" - Brilliant performances by Doris Day and James Cagney highlight this Academy Award(R) winning story of Jazz singing sensation Ruth Etting and the vicious Chicago hood who controlled her life. "Lullaby Of Broadway" - C'mon and listen to songbird Doris Day heads toward Great White Way stardom in this sparkling songfest full of favorite standards, co-starring Gene Nelson. "The Pajama Game" - Labor and management at the Sleeptite Pajama Factory aren't getting much sleep lately: a proposed 7-1/2-cent hourly wage increase is the reason and a job action just may be the result. But not to worry: negotiating strategies here involve snappy stars, terrific tunes and dynamic dances, all part of one of the most infectiously joyful stage/screen musicals ever. "Please Don't Eat The Daisies" - Domestic comedy about a New York drama critic, his wife and children, who move out to the country and struggle with dad's daily commute. "Young Man With A Horn" - The tragic life of jazz great Bix Beiderbecke, one of the few white musicians to florish in the mostly black jazz scene.
