Doris Day’s First Romantic Musical Films
St. Valentine’s Day is over, but the coming of spring always foretells the coming of love! Nothing pairs better with leftover Valentine candy than classic romantic films. The Golden Era of Hollywood developed some of the most iconic love stories, like “Casablanca” (1942) and “Gone with the Wind” (1939). However, not all classic romances are epic dramas. Some of the most endearing are lighthearted tales of love, music, and laughter.
Such are Doris Day’s first two films, “Romance on the High Seas” (1948) and “My Dream Is Yours” (1949). These two Warner Bros. musicals established the pretty blonde and popular singer as a movie star and a Hollywood personality.

‘The Voice of the Turtle’: Finding Happiness in Winter
In January 2021, the World War II era is especially relatable: separations, shortages, fears of death, and threats to the American way of life are daily concerns, just as they were then. Thus, when the 1947 film “The Voice of the Turtle” begins with “It was December, 1944, in New York and it seemed as though the war and the winter were never going to end,” we understand. However, the leading characters, played by Ronald Reagan and Eleanor Parker, rather than wallowing in despair, display admirable qualities.

Well, Christmas is careening toward us like one of those Wile E. Coyote trompe lâoeil paintings on the side of a cliff. Please be careful.

Now is a very good time to give to food banks and other community food resources, because without any sort of food or housing aid, it is going to be a very dire holiday season for many folks even before we factor in the virus.
