Doris Day, a Day to remember

One of the presents Santa brought us, for Christmas, is a DVD with six of Doris' movies. (Pillow Talk, Lover Come Back, Send Me No Flowers, The Thrill Of It All,Midnight Lace, & The Man Who Knew Too Much) Can anyone recommend a favorite?
 

Teacher's Pet, 1958
A good Doris Day movie, with Clark Gable, Gig Young, and Mamie Van Doren.
(Note Marion Ross, from Happy Days, as the secretary)

Recently my granddaughters took part in a school musical - The Lemonade Kid - and one of the songs they had to learn was The Deadwood Stage, which they loved. This gave me the opportunity to show them some more Doris Day songs and now this is also one of their favourites.

Thanks for that, Meanderer. I think they've made changes to the repertoire. It was a unique experience for me, which took place in a quaint, old, restored movie theatre. I wish I'd taken photos of that theatre.

"Her performance of the song "Embraceable You" impressed songwriter Jule Styne and his partner, Sammy Cahn, and they recommended her for a role in Romance on the High Seas (1948). Day got the part after auditioning for director Michael Curtiz. She was shocked at being offered the role in that film, and admitted to Curtiz that she was a singer without acting experience. But he said he liked that "she was honest," not afraid to admit it, and he wanted someone who "looked like the All-American Girl," which he felt she did. She was the discovery he was most proud of during his career."
