Wow, thank you so much for sharing it! What a christmas present!
I wish all the members and their families and friends a merry christmas and a very happy new year!

Hi Robert!
Nice to meet you!
How did you get to know Doris?
Enjoy the forum. Lisa

I read that Johnny Ray covered it in 1954. Could it be that it is on the single with Hernando's Hideaway?
I'm not certain about that.

Love the new banner!
Doris does a similar pose in some of her other movies and in the special with Perry, too.
It makes me smile everytime I see that gesture in her films

Wow, your new website is already great! It's easy to see, that you did it with much love. I like the idea of the quotes and the "Behind the scenes" stories, too. You've really got a talent to choose the right pictures and stories to make it an interesting and special website! Some classics that came...

I don't know if that picture was already posted somewhere in this forum, so please forgive if I posted it again.

Thank you for the information about how Julie started her career, TCM. I'm sorry if you got the impression that I think she is a bad singer or so. I definitely don't think so! I was just imagine about how the movie would have been with Doris as Maria. But maybe Doris would not have fit in that role?...

I love that movie! Unfortunately in Germany they dubb the singing in her movies, too. Isn't that stupid? They never did that with Doris' singing here. At the age of 74 Julie still looks juvenescent. Incredible! The movie is enable for kids age 6 or older here, but I have to admit, that I found the e...

I'm thrilled about the new banner, too. In its simplicity it is very expressive.
Doris always knew how the expression in her face and her body posture must be like. But it also looked natural, which makes her a truly good actress.
Great artwork again, Bryan. Lisa

I tune in as often as I can, but the time shift makes it difficult sometimes. Anyhow I really enjoy your program! You do a great job! Lisa

Hi TCM, I'm fine. Thanks. How are you? I found the Carmen Miranda Collection, but unfortunately the DVD is only available with region code 1, so it would not work on my DVD player. I hope it will also be released in the code I need. The only album I could find on the internet is "Perry Como in Italy...

I just watched MOD for the first time and needless to say I really enjoyed it! Actually I'm not that much for remakes, and although the story is predictable it's always a great fun to watch Doris, Thelma and James! No wonder that Thelma was the one, who got the most Academy Award nominations for Bes...

I also enjoy Perry's singing, TCM! So far I did not even know that Perry made some movies, too. I knew about his Television shows, but unfortunately I haven't seen them yet. Are they released on DVD? Do you have a favourite Mr. C song, TCM? I love him singing "A Garden In The Rain". Fortunately, I d...

Anne Triola played the maid Gloria Davis. I could not find much about her, too.
She had a few very small roles I think, e.g she played a waitress in "Sleep, My Love".
I could only find 5 movies she made. Maybe someone else knows more about her. Lisa

That's my collection so far. I started collecting them about one year ago. Those are all from Germany/ Austria.
I love the international pressbooks puck posted earlier. Lisa

I'm happy about that information. I didn't know this song before. Thanks texas gonzalo!

Judy Garland is another one with an unique voice.
TCM, I love Fred singing "Cheek to Cheek".

I tried to share my booklets with you, but I couldn't upload them with the "upload attachment". What did I do wrong and how can I upload the photos? Thanks in advance. Lisa

Those came to my mind No co-stars, but also still alive: Julie Andrews, Christopher Plummer and Eleanor Parker ("The Sound of Music") Gena Rowlands Anita Ekberg Olivia de Havilland Tippi Hedren Dick Van Dyke Jerry Lewis Mitzi Gaynor Kim Novak Sidney Poitier Peter O'Toole Joanne Woodward Luise Rainer...

My Top 10 list: 1. Love Me Or Leave Me 2. Calamity Jane 3. The Man Who Knew Too Much 4. Pajama Game 5. Romance On The High Seas 6. The Thrill of It All 7. The Glass Bottom Boat 8. Teacher's Pet 9. Pillow Talk 10. Midnight Lace But that actually depends on my mood. I agree with "The Ballad of Josie"....

My favourites are Teacher's Pet, Glass Bottom Boat and Tunnel of Love.

Thanks for sharing this beautiful pictures! I found so many I didn't know yet.
I love the one with the tree you posted earlier, Dorine.

My choices would be:
Quiet Nights Of Quiet Stars
Fly Me To The Moon
Stars fell On Alabama
Close Your Eyes
Let It Ring
I Had the Craziest Dream...
but I agree with all of your choices.
And it's hard to make a selection, because she sang so many sexy songs.

Thank you for letting us know about his plans.
I wrote him directly and I hope he won't change a thing that affects Doris' music.
I was so glad when I finally found a radio station, that features her music that I would be sad to lose it now.
I tune in as often as I can. Lisa

Some of the other tunes she was given to sing were not very memorable tunes. I don't think they were well-written for her voice but I guess that was the best material that could be provided to her at that time.. I thought most of the songs she sang on "Best Friends" were cover versions, such as e.g...
