Fantastically Fun to Watch

Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2017

On Moonlight Bay is an excellent movie and enjoyable to watch. The family story encompasses many subplots with an overall romantic love story which is portrayed with taste and innocence. From start to finish, the movie is uplifting with plenty of laughs along the way. The cast is excellent, and the songs are pleasant. This is clearly a five star movie! Don't forget to watch its five star sequel, By the Light of the Silvery Moon. Thanks Amazon for putting both of these classy movies online.

I'm Sure You'd Love It If Doris Day Is For You

Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2019

I love Gordon MacRae, which is why I watched this show. It's very lighthearted and has lots of nice singing in it (esp. Gordon, of course!), but personally I don't care for Doris Day. I know, I'm going to make enemies saying that, but she just doesn't appeal to me. I wish they would have chosen another actress to play the parts of Marjorie, like perhaps Gordon's oft repeated screen partner, Shirley Jones. Or Jane Powell!

Unlike many of the frothy musicals of the era, this show has much to recommend it. Wisdom, honesty, and perspective to suggest just a few of the attributes.

Ms. Day was fabulous and this movie was made before her handlers downplayed her serious acting abilities.

Doris Day is young and beautiful in this film. She sings so well in this film. I also loved her in "The Man Who Knew Too Much," in which she sang "Que Sera Sera." She's also great in "Pillow Talk," with Rock Hudson. She is a quintessential actress who captures your heart in every film she is in. Gordon MacRae is a perfect counterpart for Ms. Day in this delightful musical. He's handsome and sings so well.

This is a charming film with an outstanding cast.

A terrific flick--fun, great songs, beautiful people. Billy Gray does a great job as Wesly. Gorden and Doris are very well suited and Jack Smith is hillarious as the nerd suitor.

first saw this movie in junior high. This is how all of us kids wanted to live while growing up but never got the chance. This is one of our family favorites. Thanks for having it available. We immediately bought this movie.
