“DO NOT DISTURB has been hastily conceived as a star vehicle for the ever-frothy Doris Day, playing a wife whose love has gone out of her marriage to hard-working husband Rod Taylor. She decides to try to win his heart back by pretending to embark on a passionate affair, but things donu0026#39;t exactly go according to plan…u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe whole film is designed to show off Day at her quick-thinking best, to show off her comedic skills as she goes from one situation to the next. I have to say that, while I like Day (in THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH, for example), her performance soon started to grate on me here. The absolute pits is the scene where she gets drunk; I hate these old comedies where women get drunk and act stupid, because theyu0026#39;re just over the top and embarrassing. There were similar moments in a lot of Audrey Hepburn movies.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eStill, DO NOT DISTURB isnu0026#39;t too bad, and as a light-hearted comedy you can enjoy it if you donu0026#39;t expect too much from the premise. Taylor is a delight as the foil to Dayu0026#39;s wit, and a supporting cast do their best with the material theyu0026#39;re given.”
