He could do it all, singing, doing comedy and drama, all with equal aplomb! Just look at his multi-faceted talents in "The Hard Way," "A Star is Born," "Mildred Pierce," "Romance on the High Seas," and so many other Warner's flicks, where his talents added so much! Then, of course, there was also his memorable performance as the used car salesman in the TV series, "The Twilight Zone," filmed shortly before he died, so tragically before his time. He could have enjoyed a much longer career, with many more enjoyable performances!David Shapirohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11239512504621910016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3876641009668994417.post-2198940998072844062019-03-21T21:29:19.325-04:002019-03-21T21:29:19.325-04:00Thank you so much!

You make this sound like such a fun film, and since I'm a fan of Doris Day, AND with that incredible writing team, I figured it was a no-brainer to track down and watch. And then, I went 'hmmmmm' and checked my Day TCM set...and there it was! So, I'm watching it tonight! (And yes, I skipped over your plot synopsis, so nothing will be spoiled!)Todd B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13927308191813036428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3876641009668994417.post-31759537290707965562017-02-06T20:39:04.499-05:002017-02-06T20:39:04.499-05:00Thank you!

Doris Day was one of my dad's favorites (mine too!). And Jack Carson was so underrated. If you've never seen "The Hard Way" you should; he'll break your heart. As kids we were "shocked" to hear the word "chooch" thrown around, knowing it meant "jackass" in Italian. Hearing it in the movie gave us license to use it around the house for years! Lovely screen shots. I felt like if I scrolled my mouse fast enough I would have viewed the entire movie. Wonderful job!Stephen Reginaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17050782148081105899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3876641009668994417.post-21587622801282293592017-02-05T19:05:54.995-05:002017-02-05T19:05:54.995-05:00Thanks!

It was a shame he did not get to do it more often.<br /><br />And those hats of Elvira's! The one looks like a flying saucer landed on her head.
