Both Doris Day and Frank Sinatra sing in this movie,but it's a better show for Sinatra.So for Sinatra fans this movie is a must. The story is completely unrealistic and ridiculous.The main character is Doris,who is her usual intelligent and likable movie persona.She falls in love with Gig Young's character who is intelligent and pleasant and are going to be married.Then,on her wedding day she finds out that her sister loves her husband-to-be and this seems good enough reason for her not only to cancel the marriage but not even show up and even more,to run away with her husband's business partner.Now if Doris Day decided not to marry someone,would she do it in such a distasteful manner?Maybe some women would but not the Doris Day America loved. I guess in those days audiences would believe that any woman- even Doris Day-would behave in such a despicable way to be with Sinatra.It doesn't make Doris's character in the movie any more sympathetic. The character of Gig Young is totally unbelievable too,one would expect him to at least never see Doris again after that.Instead he shows up again and behaves like nothing happened. Also,Doris Day and Frank Sinatra seem to be from different universe and never for an instant register as a couple.Sinatra is okay in this difficult obnoxious character but he just doesn't fit with Day's character.
