Description:
A Rare & Delightful Day For Music Lovers! Film and recording superstar Doris Day stars in her first television music special, singing a collection of her greatest hits (It¹s Magic, Sentimental Journey, Secret Love), Showtunes (Who Will Buy? from Oliver, Hurry, It¹s Lovely Up Here from On A Clear Day You Can See Forever), and other pop classics such as Both Sides Now, The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin’ Groovy) and the Beatles’ Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da. Special guest Perry Como performs Didn¹t We and duets with Doris for a nostalgic medley of songs, including Everybody Loves A Lover, Quiet Nights Of Quiet Stars, When You Were Sixteen and Let Me Call You Sweetheart. With her pet dogs, Doris offers You Must Have Been A Beautiful Baby and joins a dance troupe for The Gypsy In My Soul and Them Was The Good Old Days. In addition, Doris¹ motion-picture partner Rock Hudson makes a surprise appearance and, as an added bonus, never-before-seen outtakes and deleted scenes are featured on this DVD debut of THE DORIS DAY SPECIAL, which received an Emmy® nomination when it originally aired as The Doris Mary Anne Kappelhoff Special on CBS-TV in 1971.

Rating:  - A Day to treasure
For fans of Doris Day, this is a welcome reminder of her huge talent.
A much underrated singer, she could do every thing, sing Dance, and was a consummate actress, either in comedy or drama.
It good to see her teamed with another sometimes forgotton performer, Perry Como....thay make an attractive couple, and the pity is that Doris did not do more Musical Spectaculars for television. Look out for her only other one "Doris Day Today"...if you like Doris you'll find both of these dvd's ... Read More
Rating:  - Annoyingly Trite
As a retro-TV buff, I couldn't wait to see this show.
What a disappointment.
I find it hard to believe that even Doris Day fans (and I'm one) would look back on this show and be so glowing about it. "Trite" isn't the word for it: phony/stagy is more like it.
Day did not appear to be enjoying herself throughout this show. One too many rehearsals, perhaps, wore her down. Her lines, her behavior, her responses to Como and Hudson were patently staged and not heart ... Read More
Rating: - doris day special review
This DVD does not play on my computer. Why? I Emailed the mfgr of the disc several days ago and still awaiting a reply, but not holding my breath. The disc plays well on my stand alone DVD players. Maybe it's my computer, I don't know, but all other dvd's have played on it perfectly.
Rating:  - The Doris Day Special
A GREAT AMERICAN ACTRESS, A GREAT AMERICAN SINGER, A GREAT AMERICAN!
Rating: - Delightful Doris
The special was filmed in 1970 and reflected the time period--there's a kind of flower power feel to it but it was well done. Doris and Perry Como's duet together was ok (but Perry seemed to not like Doris flirting with him.) Doris Day has always been under-rated as a singer. Her voice is sheer perfection. It's too bad that Doris didn't do more specials or have a variety/comedy/musical show like Carol Burnett.
