PLEASE DON'T EAT THE DAISIES.......2007-06-12

THIS IS A GREAT FILM IF YOU ARE A DORIS DAY FAN. I HAVE ALWAYS LIKE EVEN WHEN I SAY IT AT THE VARSIETY THEATRE IN LINCOLN, NE WHERE UNFORTUNATELY WELLS FARGO BANK STANDS. A GREAT THEATRE GONE. THE PICTURE QUALITY IS GREAT AND ALSO SOUND. A GREAT DVD FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY.

Blasts from the past!!!.......2007-04-11

A wonderful movie, so glad to always have it on DVD, and an excellent addition to my growing collection.
The picture and sound are better than I ever thought and it comes as always a great trans. thru amazon!!!!
A comedy with a deeper story of climbing the success ladder, and deciding what really is more important to bring happiness!! David Niven is so divine, and together he and Doris D, tell a great story of marriage, money, and what popular really means!!

The Snake Has All the Lines.......2007-02-05

Compared to ghastly films like Prudence and the Pill, David Niven must look back on this film as one of his better efforts. It's a good enough entry in the Doris Day canon, and there is unmistakable chemistry between Day and Niven. That said, it falls short of Jean Kerr's bestseller on which it is based by missing the tone. The later TV show to my mind more captures the sense of the book, although usually movies come closer with the follow up TV shows a pale imitation of the original book.

My title comes from the book Kerr wrote after Please Don't Eat the Daisies, both books being unaccountably out of print. Both books also, in my opinion, being well worth tracking down. With this film out on DVD, the TV series, and maybe even the revival of Kerr's books, may not be far behind.

Please Don't Eat the Daisyies.......2007-01-12

An old classic that I got for my wife. Always fun to watch.

Disappointed in Quality of DVD.......2006-06-09

I was really looking forward to seeing this moving after many, many years, but the DVD tanked. Unfortunately, I couldn't view it past the first 10 minutes. The seller refunded my money, but didn't have another one to send me. I think I'll pass on purchasing another one since it's manufacturer would be the same and the DVD was flawed, not the movie.

Radley Metzger transports the Prosper Mérimée classic (which was also the source of Bizet's legendary opera) to the Mediterranean coast of the swinging '60s. In the decadent world of high-life high jinks, wild parties, and easy virtue, Carmen (voluptuous sex kitten Uta Lekz) lures a hot-blooded, hunky young cop from his straight-arrow lifestyle and initiates him into a band of petty thieves and con artists led by her husband. When she dumps the kid for a sexy pop star named Baby (who sucks his alcohol from tiny baby bottles), the fatally jealous ex-cop... well, you know the story. Metzger has Lekz play Carmen as an unapologetic hedonist, less a manipulator than a pleasure-seeker who follows her impulses, a perfect player in Metzger's world of sexual freedom and gleeful exhibitionism. Yet for all the sex and fleshy eroticism, there is little explicit nudity--mostly tease and temptation. Metzger's lingering pace, perfect for such meandering jaunts as The Dirty Girls and Score, bogs the story down when the tensions should be rising, but he picks it up by the edgy climax. Metzger makes the transition to color with great style, filling the widescreen with bold, lush hues, as vivid as the passion, and scores the film with a groovy '60s soundtrack of lounge music-a-go-go. --Sean Axmaker

Description

Imagine Baby Reading is a book for the parent who wants her baby to be prepared for the most important skill he will learn in his early years, how to read and spell. The accompanying DVD will charm baby while he learns how sounds and words work. Delightfully produced! Baby will thrill to floating letters, a pleasing Mommy-voice, and the soothing cords of Strauss's Blue Danube, as he imprints the English written code and trains his phonological awareness. Based on the principles of the authors' best selling book Reading Reflex (Free Press, 1998; Penguin, 1999). This product is age appropriate for six months to six years.
