Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

JohnHowardReid Copyright 13 December 1965 by Martin Melcher Productions—Arcola Pictures. Released through 20th Century-Fox Film Corp. New York opening at neighborhood cinemas: 24 December 1965. U.S. release: 22 December 1965. U.K. release: 17 January 1966. Australian release: 23 December 1965. Sydney opening at the Regent. 9,175 feet. 102 minutes.SYNOPSIS: Mike Harper (Rod Taylor), an executive in the firm of Baird Woolens, is sent to England by his company to try to boost its European sales. His wife, Janet (Doris Day), surprises him by renting a rambling house in the country, instead of the apartment he wanted in the vicinity of his office. Mike's work soon causes him to spend considerable time in London, and Janet begins to suspect something fishy between him and his secretary, Claire (Maura McGiveney). Janet's landlady, Vanessa (Hermione Baddeley) advises Janet to make Mike jealous by pretending an interest in someone else. Janet decides that the someone else will be Paul Bellari (Sergio Fantoni), a suave antique dealer.COMMENT: This second and final film from TV director, Ralph "Bedtime Story" Levy, is even less interesting than his first effort. In fact, to describe "Do Not Disturb" as very mild fun would be to generously overpraise this rather pedestrian picture. Poor Doris Day is forced into shameless mugging to extract even a few half-chuckles out of this very dull script that was obviously derived from a third-rate stage play. Indifferent direction doesn't help. Nor does inept photography. (Hard to believe it's credited to Leon Shamroy, with all that illusion-shattering make-up so patently revealed in incompetent close-ups).The movie was obviously filmed on the cheap too. And in addition to other shortcomings, only two songs for Miss Day — and one of those over the credit titles. Totally uninspired songs too!All that can be said in the film's favor is that the players try very hard — though only one, Maura McGiveney's nicely calculating secretary, is worth mentioning. Fans had a right to feel short-changed by this entertainment-starved and technically below standard offering from TV director Ralph Levy. Miss Day herself describes it as "a terrible script". She was right. Dead right! I should give it "5", but I don't have the heart! OTHER VIEWS: Doris Day has saved worse productions than this, and she desperately tries to keep the whole thing going, giggling, shrieking and getting delightfully drunk… Yet the material defeats everyone in the end. — Monthly Film Bulletin.

otterman62 We think Doris Day's films are generally excellent and having watched a number from a boxed set recently ( Pillow Talk, The Thrill of it all, etc) this one is comparatively a disappointment BUT it's not Doris's fault....the film is about 30 minutes too long, the script isn't sharp enough and Rod Taylor shouts all the time and comes across as completely obnoxious to the point where you think she would be better off without him - not exactly the point for a Rom-Com? -Oh and as a Brit I have to say that some of the British characters accents are nearly as bad as Dick Van Dyke in Mary Popping. However! DD performs valiantly, she looks great, especially when you realise she was 43 when she made this, her comic timing is excellent and in her scenes she either exudes charm naturally or is good enough as an actress to look like she exudes charm, I prefer to believe the former. Watch this if you're in an undemanding mood, but if you have the choice watch one of her earlier ones instead.

TheLittleSongbird Now I didn't hate Do Not Disturb, but it was nothing special really. It does have its good points though. I loved the fun title sequence, the catchy title song and the drunk scene in the middle scene. While nothing spectacular, the production values are quite nice and the music is good. And Doris Day, the talented and endearing actress/singer she is, really makes the most of what she has.What I didn't like about Do Not Disturb so much was that Rod Taylor came across as one of Day's more blander co-stars and does resort to overacting. But I think what did hurt the film more was its thin script, predictable plotting(albeit some moderately funny scenes), elephantine pacing and sit-com-ish direction.Overall, Do Not Disturb isn't terrible as such, but it could have been better and Day did deserve much more. 5/10 Bethany Cox

Spikeopath OK, so it's not unreasonable to enter into a Doris Day romantic comedy expecting undemanding froth and a little sexiness. With that, Do Not Disturb delivers on that expectation. Day's line in this type of film caters for like minded people knowing exactly what they want from a Sunday morning time filler. The trouble is, is that where's the cut off point to say no more please? This film is arguably the one where Day fans {and I count myself among them} finally realised the formula had run its course. Yes the enjoyable fluff that was The Glass Bottom Boat would follow a year later, but that too has a familiarity, that whilst not breeding contempt, certainly felt like being stuck on a carousel.The plot here is naturally simple, but sadly so is Richard L. Breen's screenplay {adapting from William Fairchild's play}. Thankfully Day at least manages to make the thread bare script work to a degree, and although no Rock Hudson, Rod Taylor does make for an appealing foil to Day's sexy effervescent efforts. Hermione Baddeley shines brightest out of the supporting cast and the funky opening credits are accompanied by Day's delightful rendition of the title tune. Enter with caution then, for even the hardiest of Doris Day fans must know this is but a time filler in all but name. 5/10
