Interesting Movie (2004-07-02)

I own all 39/39 of Doris Days Movies and I bought this one a few weeks ago. And I didn't remember all of it since I hadn't seen it in a few years. And I will say one thing I wasn't to happy.

Margaret (Doris Day) is a famous actoress on the Broadway Stage is famous for her roles as a virgin storms out on her Husband Peter (Patrick O'Neal) when she finds out he was fooling around with a nother women Roberta Lane (Lola Albright). And then she accidentally gets mischarged of having some relationship with Waldo Zane (Robert Morse) who went into her vacation house when she was in it and fell asleep right next to her. This movie takes place when the Lights Went Out notice the Title Of The Movie. I can see why this was never rated as one of Miss Days best movies it catches her in a bad role. This movie had some of the funniest people in Hollywood wich include.

Terry-Thomas - Ladislau Walichek Steve Allen - Radio Announcer Jim Backus - Tru-Blue Lou Pat Paulsen - Subway Conductor Randy Whipple - Marvin Reinholtz Earl Wilson - Himself Ben Blue - Man with a razor Parley Baer - Dr. Dudley Caldwell Dale Malone - Otis J. Hendershot, Jr. Robert Emhardt - Otis J. Hendershot, Sr. Harry Hickox - Detective Capt. Percy Watson

Great Cast Corny Movie.

Strange things happen in New York City Blackout! (2004-03-04)

Robert Morse (How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying [1967]) plays an accident-prone man that puts everything in prospective.

While he walks the street, near-accidents could happen to him, but he escapes danger within seconds. This man has just managed to steal a load of cash from his executive workplace. Just as there is a blackout, he can't get an airplane flight out. Doris Day's performance is blacked-out, so show cancelled. Then she catches her boyfriend with another woman. She goes back to Connecticut. The Theif is trying to get to Boston. The paths of these two have been repeatedly crossing this black-out night, but they are about to meet under safe, unusual circumstances. Cast includes: Terry-Thomas, Patrick O'Neal, Steve Allen, Jim backus, and Pat Paulsen.

Low-Wattage Script Turns Day to Night (2001-12-10)

It was only a matter of time before some one turned the the famous 1960s New York City blackout into a bedroom farce--but this script would have been better left in the dark. Day is always entertaining to watch, and supporting players Robert Morse, Terry-Thomas, Steve Allen, and Jim Backus also give their all, but they can't charge up this mishmash of misguided comedy.

Underrated comedy (2001-07-22)

After reading a couple of reviews saying this film is very mediocre, I didn't have very high expectations on it, so I was surprised to see how funny it actually is. The actors are doing a fine job and there are some really fun scenes. One of the funniest scenes is the one where Maggie (Doris Day) and Waldo (Robert Morse) are sleeping and Maggie's husband, Peter (Patrick O'Neal) is trying to talk to them and Maggie says "Oh, hello, Peter, so you're here" every time he wakes her up. It's overall a very entertaining movie that certainly is worth watching. Have a nice video night!

Where Were You When the Lights Were Out (2000-11-19)

It's November 9th,1965 and New York is having one of its largest power failures. Well, anyone who has ever been in a blackout knows the stress and confusion it can cause. Doris Day plays Margaret Garrisson, an actress with the reputation of being a good girl. Her husband, Peter Garrison (played by Patrick O'Neal), is disappointed that this reputation is starting to become a reality in their marriage. When Margaret comes home after her Broadway show has been canceled due to the power outage, she is shocked by what she finds: her husband and a reporter she had entrusted him with, in a romantic candle-lit state. Margaret storms off into the pitch black night and manages to make it to their second home where she drinks quite a bit of sleeping aid and passes out. When Margaret awakes, she is greeted by a man she has never seen before, and whom she may have had some illicit affair with. That doesn't sound like a good girl to me. And boy, what a mess this causes! Her husband is outraged to find his wife with another man (Now if that isn't the kettle calling the teapot black!); her agent (played by Terry Thomas) fears that Margaret may be thinking of quitting her acting career; and poor Mr.Walichek, how will he get paid? And what about the briefcase filled with several million dollars? It's a big ball of confusion and straightening this mess out is not going to be easy. Robert Morse plays Waldo Zane (you'll remember him as the wacky advisor in "Guide For The Married Man"), and he adds quite a bit more wackiness this time around. So next time you find yourself home alone on a rainy night with nothing to do, rent this one and be thankful that at least the power is still working.
