DORIS DAY: A SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY

I believe this interesting, informative and concise record is the better of the two documentaries about an extraordinary star's life and career. The many unpleasant circumstances and events of her personal life are neatly woven and contrasted with her glamorous screen persona and hectic professional life. Doris Day was the ultimate girl next door who just happened to be gorgeous and talented. She was able to do everything well and make it look simple. If there is anyone in the world who does not like this woman I don't want to know about it. Considering her amazing popularity, it is surprising that this documentary has been out of circulation for so many years and has never been given a video release. It certainly deserves repeated viewings.

 

2:- ROCK HUDSON: TALL, DARK AND HANDSOME

When Rock Hudson first arrived in Hollywood in 1945, he was a shy, rugged and extraordinarily handsome young man with no job, no acting experience, no contacts in the film business and just a dream of becoming a movie star. Ten years later, he was the hottest box-office property in the world. This program tells the story of how Hudson became a movie star - and then an actor - in such big-screen classics as Magnificent Obsession, A Farewell to Arms, Giant and Pillow Talk.
