Spanning almost her entire movie career, The Doris Day Collection traces the rise from supporting starlet to miscast leading lady in six movies. Wild West musical Calamity Jane (1953) remains the gem, pitting her ladette-to-lady sharpshooter against the mighty Howard Keel's Wild Bill Hickok. In jazz odyssey Young Man With A Horn (1950) she's the good girl battling smoky Lauren Bacall for Kirk Douglas' attentions, while Love Me Or Leave Me (1955) casts Day opposite Jimmy Cagney ina gutsy biopic of '30s Broadway sensation Ruth Etting. 1962 offers the spectacular Busby Berkeley-choreographed Rodgers&Hart circus musical Billy Rose's Jumbo and neglected housewife rom-com Please Don't Eat The Daisies, but by 1966 she's visibly exhausted in the spies'n'space-travel slapstick of The Glass-Bottom Boat. Two years later, upon the death of her third husband, Day retired from filmmaking. 

DVD Extras:

Aside from trailers, the extras are largely a random collection of MGM oddities. Calamity Jane comes with newsreel footage, Love Me Or Leave Me has a couple of Ruth Etting musical shorts, while Jumbo features another musical short and a '50s Tom&Jerry cartoon, both entirely unrelated to the film. The Glass Bottom Boat has three featurettes: an MGM backstage story, featuring Day's costume tests; a wildlife short about the Catalina Island location and some Day-hosted piffle about NASA with laugh-free bloopers; and, inexplicably, the trippy Oscar-winning Chuck Jones cartoon The Dot And The Line.
