VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
HotToastyRag I'll See You in My Dreams is one among many musical biopics made during the golden age of movie musicals. Danny Thomas stars as lyricist Gus Kahn, the man who brought us the classic songs of "Pretty Baby", "The One I Love Belongs to Somebody Else", "It Had to be You", "Carolina in the Morning", and countless others. Many, many songs are featured in the film, so if you like his songs, you'll probably be pretty happy with this one.The film shows the rags-to-riches story of the hero, and how he woos and wins the girl, Doris Day. Doris, his wife, supports him through all his ups and downs, personifying the "woman behind the man" theme in many biopics. With a supporting cast of James Gleason, Jim Backus, Mary Wickes, Patrice Wymore, and Frank Lovejoy, this has all the makings of a very entertaining musical drama. I found it to be enjoyable the first time through, but for a biopic I choose to watch over and over, I prefer Love Me or Leave Me. It does have lots of great songs and interesting scenes, though, so if you decide to rent it, you won't be in for a bad evening.
foggyday "I'll see you in my dreams" is one of the last really good Doris Day film, which is not only a Musical. A lot of people think, that this extra ordinary actress was only able to play Comedy or Musical Roles. It's has also a dramtic side, which can be compared to her performance in "Young at Heart". I guess "I'll see you in my dreams" was the cause, that she was voted as the Most Popular Actress of the Year in 1952.
mbking This musical bio of Gus Kahn, the "Corn Belt Bard," selected by New York's Radio City Music Hall as their Christmas presentation in 1951, is one movie you can just sit back and listen to. Doris Day sings one great song after another, while Kahn, the author of countless tunes from the title number to "Ain't We Got Fun" and "Makin' Whoopee," is portrayed by Danny Thomas, in his first screen role. Day is the "Song Plugger," who believes in his greatness and eventually marries him. A virtual survey of American popular music from the days of Tin Pan Alley, vaudeville, Broadway and early sound movies, the story is swept along by the expert direction of Michael Curtiz (YANKEE DOODLE DANDY, CASABLANCA et al.). Patrice Wymore (at one time married to Errol Flynn) does a wonderful turn as a singer in Florenz Ziegfeld's "Whoopee," performing "Carolina in the Morning" and "Love Me or Leave Me," with elan. It may be corn, but there is a nostalgic glow about the production that is most appealing.
Polo This is a movie for which Doris Day should have gotten an Oscar nomination. Her best film of the fifties aside from Pillow Talk. She gives a remarkable performance as Gus Kahn's wife, Grace. And Danny Thomas gives a great performance as well. This a movie for anyone who loves Doris Day or just good clean tasteful films.
