Movie review - "Do Not Disturb" (1965) **

A silly inconsequential comedy in which the two stars work well together but whose story is so slight and tired the film has a great deal of trouble holding the audience’s interest. For example, the first twenty minutes of the film is devoted to gags about Doris Day having arranged to live in the country instead of the city like Rod Taylor wanted - and that’s it. There is no real reason for this film to exist except for greed; Day’s popularity had turned 20th Century-Fox into being lazy and complacent.
