OLLI-FILM-4055 - Hold the Freckles: Doris Day is More Than Fluff!

Course Description

Paul Brogan may be partial to Doris Day, because of their decade's long friendship. However, film historians have written widely about the diversity of Day's career. Not only was she the top box-office female star in film history, as well as a top recording artist, but the films she starred in are about much more than "Pillow Talk". Come and discover what you might have missed along the way and enjoy tidbits about their surprising friendship from your presenter. We will discuss and watch a Hitchcock thriller, co-starring James Stewart, as well as a gutsy and hard-hitting biographical drama with James Cagney that earned kudos. A drama with Sinatra and "the best screen version of a Broadway hit", according to critics, will also be on display.
