Description:
'On Moonlight Bay' stars Doris Day and Gordon MacRae are back together in top tune-crooning form for the further adventures of a small-town family turning the corner from World War I into the Roaring '20s. Year: 1953 Director: David Butler Starring: Doris Day, Gordon MacRae, Billy Gray
Amazon.com:
The huge popularity of the nostalgic On Moonlight Bay prompted this 1953 sequel, which recaptures the first film's small-town, post-WWI spirit. Because young lovers Doris Day and Gordon MacRae are already together, the movie needs some sort of trumped-up conflict to separate them for a while; it comes with MacRae's decision to postpone their wedding until he gets his financial legs. Yawn. But don't worry, the subplots abound, including younger brother Billy Gray pilfering a prize Thanksgiving turkey, and dad Leon Ames suspected of romancing a visiting French music-hall star. Naturally there are vintage songs, including umpteen renderings of the classic title song (you won't need the bouncing ball to sing along) and Day and MacRae casually bopping out new lyrics to 'Ain't We Got Fun.' Also returning for the sequel are Rosemary DeCamp as the patient mother and shameless scene-stealer Mary Wickes as the bossy maid. And check it out: future talk-show host Merv Griffin cheerleading during the finale at an outdoor ice rink. Day and MacRae twinkle so aggressively that they sometimes resemble salesmen for a particular kind of Hollywood backlot America that probably never existed, but the whole thing is almost impossible to resist. --Robert Horton

About 20 years ago I recall seeing this movie on cable. I loved it. When I discovered it had been made available on DVD I had to have it. It is classic. If you are a Doris Day fan this video is a must!

Could not find this anywhere but Amazon. It was in perfect condition and came just in time to give it to my mom for her birthday.
Rating: - Just as good as ever
This movie is just as entertaining as it was when I was young. It will leave you with a smile on your face. A good escape from the rigors of today's world.
Rating: - very annoyed
THANK YOU FOR SENDING THIS FILM AND I WOULD BE EVEN MORE ELATED IF YOU HAVE THE CURTESY TO COME BACK TO ME OVER THIS. WHY DID YOU SEND THIS FILM TOGETHER WITH [ON MOONLIGHT BAY] BECAUSE YOU CAUSED UK CUSTOMS TO OPEN THE PACKAGE AND COST ME A FURTHER £11-00 STERLING ON TOP OF THE PRICE OF FILMS WHICH WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENDED IF YOU HAD SENT THE FILMS SEPARATELY SO IN SAVING YOURSELVES POSTAGE YOU INCURRED ME CUSTOMS CHARGES WHY ?
