Doris Day on Blu-ray

[whiteberry]

Since Warner Archive is making their way through her filmography, I thought I'd list the remaining movies owned by Warner:
April In Paris (1952)
By The Light of the Silvery Moon (1953)
I'll See You In My Dreams (1951)
It's A Great Feeling (1949)
Julie (1956)
Lucky Me (1954)
Please Don't Eat The Daisies (1960)
Starlift (1951)
Storm Warning (1951)
Tea For Two (1950)
Tunnel Of Love, The (1958)
West Point Story, The (1950)
Winning Team, The (1952)
Where Were You When The Lights Went Out? (1968)

Of those, the following are available in HD digitally:
April In Paris (1952)
It's A Great Feeling (1949)
Julie (1956)
Please Don't Eat The Daisies (1960)
Tea For Two (1950)
Tunnel Of Love, The (1958)
Winning Team, The (1952)

Where Were You When The Lights Went Out? has not been released on home video since the days of VHS. I'm assuming there must be some sort of rights issue with it.

My #1 want from this list is "Storm Warning", a terrific drama filmed with film noir flair. Ginger Rogers and Ronald Reagan are the nominal stars and they're quite good. But Doris Day and Steve Cochran steal the picture with sensational supporting performances.
I'd also love to get "It's a Great Feeling" on Blu. Have always liked the chemistry between Dennis Morgan and Jack Carson. Doris sings like an angel as the girl they're both pursuing. And a large number of Warner Brothers stars turn up as themselves in cameos (Joan Crawford, Jane Wyman, Sydney Greenstreet, Patricia Neal, Ronald Reagan, Gary Cooper, Eleanor Parker and more) further enlivening the already vivid Technicolor proceedings.

Storm Warning is the only one i want on blu ray now.
Great film, one of my favourites of hers.

I guess that, too.

Really wish we could get this one next...

Might be too morbid, but they should release Doris Day's cable TV show from the 80s, Doris Day's Best Friends. One of the earliest episodes (on YouTube) is of her hanging out with a visibly deteriorating Rock Hudson. Sources vary as to whether that was the first appearance of him as he was dying, or whether people had suspicions for years and the show exacerbated them, but either way when he was seen on there the rumors of him dying were everywhere, and the clip of the show was replayed constantly on TV. Eventually, one of Hudson's publicists announced he had inoperable liver cancer but not AIDS (not true), but four days later a different publicist announced that Hudson did in fact have AIDS, which led to his death three months later.

As far as I know, Doris Day's Best Friends has never been released on home video before.

Yes, not sure what the issue is... but the film has not seen a physical media release since VHS. I still have my copy. Not her greatest film but worth having if you're a Doris fan.

MPI would have been the one to release this series. I had faith that they would a while back. They released her TV series and TV specials along with a documentary as well. But they have since halted any classic/vintage TV releases with the exception of Ozzie & Harriet. They haven't released anything in a while in that area.

Excited to see another one of her movies make it to BD. Really hoping for "With Six You Get Eggroll" which is a fun family film in the same vein as "Yours Mine & Ours" with some wonderful sets highlighting the era and great chemistry between Day and Brian Keith.
