Film and recording superstar Doris Day stars in her first television music special, singing a collection of her greatest hits (It's Magic, Sentimental Journey, Secret Love), Showtunes (Who Will Buy? from Oliver, Hurry, It's 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 Didn't 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, Doris¦ 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. Review: Doris Day Special - what a very special lady - This DVD is an absolute gem. If you're a Doris Day fan you will absolutely love it and even if you're not you will soon appreciate the huge talent this lady has in all areas of entertainment. I loved the last 2 songs 'It's Magic' and especially the very lovely jazzed up version of 'Sentimental Journey' which was absolutely brilliant. Miss Day was a vision in a white trouser suit with silver trim and looked and sounded like a million dollars. What a voice! What a woman! I also liked the guest star Perry Como singing duet with Doris and even though he seemed to be a bit shy as Doris was looking romantically at him while singing the incredibly beautiful 'Quiet Nights for Quiet Stars' they blended very well together. Doris is obviously a very exuberant and affectionate woman and a wonderful actress and I think Perry couldn't quite keep up with her in all those departments. However, in the outtakes he nearly makes up for it and was quite funny. I also loved the dance scenes 'Good Old Days', and 'Its the Gypsy in My Soul'. The scenes with her dogs was lovely and very natural. The Rock Hudson cameo was quite funny but a bit short, it's a pity he didn't get to speak a bit more but he sure made a hit with the sexy kiss he gave Doris. Doris is also a very good raconter and I enjoyed her little story about the TV sets and how she got her name changed from Kapplehoff to Day. All in all this DVD is an absolute MUST. It is very reasonably priced and will be a prized possession in anyone's DVD collection. Review: Doris Day Special Really Shines - I know why I have been a huge Doris Day fan for decades. It's because Doris Day, makes me feel good. Everytime I watch her, I feel better and I have to smile. There aren't many entertainers you can say this about. She has charmed millions of people, for decades too. She is truly an American treasure and she shows why in this lavish musical special. Doris can do it all from singing to dancing to playing comedy or drama. In this special, we get to hear her velvety singing voice, singing some of her biggest hits. The teaming of Doris and Perry Como, was geniuous at work. They blend beautifully together and there was a lot of chemistry between the two of them. Doris has never looked more beautiful. Her personality shines through as she pokes fun at all of her crying scenes, in her films over the years. Her sweet and adorable segment with her dogs is also wonderful to see. The outtakes are fun to watch too. I highly recommend this for all of you Doris Day fans. As for what some said on here about blurry pictures and quality. They must have been watching a different dvd as I saw nothing wrong with the quality of this dvd. This is a rare treat for the eye and ear, of all of you Doris' fans. If you are new to her work and watch this for the first time, I guarantee you will become an instant Doris Day fan. As Jamie Farr, said once in an interview, "If you don't love Doris Day, there is something wrong with you." Amen to that one. Sit back and enjoy Doris in her prime. You will fall in love all over again, with this magnificent entertainer. Anita H. Wisconsin. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000E991SY | | Actors | Doris Day, Perry Como, Rock Hudson | | Aspect Ratio | 1.33:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | #115,754 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #2,882 in Music Videos & Concerts (Movies & TV) #12,729 in Comedy (Movies & TV) | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (121) | | Director | Bill Foster | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | DVD7703 | | MPAA rating | Unrated (Not Rated) | | Media Format | Color, Multiple Formats, NTSC | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 0.7 x 7.5 x 5.4 inches; 2.72 ounces | | Release date | May 30, 2006 | | Run time | 1 hour | | Studio | Mpi Home Video | | Writers | Alex Barris, Ernest Chambers, Gary Belkin, Saul Ilson | ## Product Details - **Format:** Color, Multiple Formats, NTSC - **Genre:** Television - **Language:** English - **Number Of Discs:** 1 ## Images ![The Doris Day Special - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81dLUOkSnfL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Doris Day Special - what a very special lady *by R***R on July 1, 2006* This DVD is an absolute gem.

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-felt. And to see this 40-something woman dressing up like Little Orphan Annie was flat out worthy of sneering. I'm sorry, folks, but "older" women did not dress like that in 1970s. High-schoolers, yes. 40-something women, NO. One redeeming quality about this now out-of-print DVD is the alternate takes. Skip the broadcast show, and go directly to the alternate version. The only thing I agree with regarding the other reviewers here is that she did a superb job with "Lovely Up Here", but only in the alternate, stereo take. The broadcast version was hacked to heck. All in all, a total disappointment. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.dk/products/16488238-the-doris-day-special](https://www.desertcart.dk/products/16488238-the-doris-day-special) --- *Product available on Desertcart Denmark* *Store origin: DK* *Last updated: 2026-04-29*
