Put Em in a Box Romance on the High Seas Doris Day

[@moonjazz]

Wow Doris Day 🥰 🥰 🥰 I could listen to her sing all day long. Her voice is so beautiful, pure and angelic. She is so unique and there will never be another quite like her.

[@moonjazz]

Doris even looks cute when she looks mad 🥰

[@Fannin7]

This movie is fun and Doris is beautiful. She sings the best songs ever. I've been a fan for over 70 years.

[@marilynfosseen1541]

Where has this song been all my life?

[@johnnyx9892]

Nothing beats a great melody with catchy lyrics. Yesterday, today, or tomorrow.

[@kennethlamb2926]

Here we are 73 years later and you can see Chloe Feoranzo do this number in grand style and play killer clarinet to boot. Civilization still glimmers.

[@johnnyx9892]

Chloe is magnificent!

[@ruthnagarya2028]

Oh my gosh that 1048 hair!!! This was her first movie, she was so bright, full of life and goodness

[@jay22kar]

How? How can Love not agree with HER!? She's so lovely!!😭

[@mca1218]

This couldn't have been her film debut!! Such an assured, confident, performance of both singer and actress- illustrating the staple of a movie musical: the character's emotion through song. And Doris was sooo wonderful in her 'girl singer with a band' roots, as shown here with the Page Cavanaugh trio.

[@michaelklein5242]

Cranky, but great director Michael Curtiz told Jack Warner Doris would be a big star almost immediately, and she was. Curtiz worked very hard to be sure all her scenes were star-making ones. Day also credited her new friend, the wonderful Jack Carson, for helping her in her first film. I love this picture and "It's a Great Feeling", which is probably even better! This was the first " grown up" song my piano and voice teacher coached me on as a kid. We'd sit at our pianos and duet on it. Wonderful memory, so thanks for sharing it.

DORIS DAY HAD SUCH PERSONALITY IN HER FIRST MOVIE JUST AMAZING!

[@Macwench2006]

You can take the moon, gather up the stars And the robins that sing merrily Put 'em in a box, tie 'em with a ribbon Throw 'em in the deep blue sea You can take the flowers, down in lovers lane And that sentimental poetry Put 'em in a box, tie 'em with a ribbon Throw 'em in the deep blue sea Not for me, all that stuff The dreams that ruin your sleep Not for me, had enough Love is one thing you can keep You can take the plans and the wedding bells And whoever sings, "Oh, promise me" Put 'em in a box, tie 'em with a ribbon Throw 'em in the deep blue sea 'Cause love and I we don't agree Hansoms through the park, kisses in the dark All the promises made faithfully Put 'em in a box, tie 'em with a ribbon Throw 'em in the deep blue sea And you won't go wrong if you take a song Sung by Frankie Boy or Mr. C Put 'em in a box, tie 'em with a ribbon Throw 'em in the deep blue sea Not for me, all that stuff Not for me, had enough You know what to do with good old tea for two And the girl for you, the boy for me Put 'em in a box, tie 'em with a ribbon Throw 'em in the deep blue sea 'Cause love and I we don't agree Songwriters: Jule Styne / Sammy Cahn

Thank you

[@chrismorrison2805]

Amen!

[@hipsterdoofus1026]

Doris always has great outfits in her movies: this, the suit in _The Man Who Knew Too Much_, the suit in _Midnight Lace_ (just to name a few).

[@PaulMcElveen]

This beautiful, classic, and upbeat song is one of my favorite songs from the classic 1948 movie Romance on The High Seas! I was born in 1978. Thank you for posting and sharing this movie magic! I love it!

[@antoinettechuffa4982]

HER BEAUTY AND TALENT IS ETERNAL AND WILL LIVE ON FOREVER, RIP DEAR GIRL!!!!!

[@keocntsy]

I've loved this song ever since I first saw the film. Doris had an amazing voice with the quality of a tenor sax. Started as a big band singer and progressed to a major film star. One of the highest paid in her day. Unfortunately she fell out of fashion when the "nifty fifties" ended and the sexy sixties began. An amazing talent and a wonderful person too. Thanks Doris for so many hours of pleasure.

[@hipsterdoofus1026]

This really shows Day as a jazz singer.

[@garygibson5983]

I was friendly with Page Cavanaugh and Al Viola in their later years and Page told me they recorded three slightly different versions of this song with Doris. The director Michael Curtiz came into the studio to listen to them and said they were all wrong...he wanted it to be angrier. The recording engineer said he had one more take which confused Doris and the trio. Then he just replayed the first take but turned up the volume loud and Curtiz said PERFECT!!!

[@strongbear3369]

Funny story

[@robinboyd1103]

Doris is great but I love watching the interreactions with the Trio, especially Page Cavanaugh. He almost steals the scene!

[@michaelklein5242]

Curtiz took to Doris immediately and assured Jack Warner he'd make Doris a film star with her first movie. He did. Unlike other performers, Curtiz treated her nicely and was quite patient with her. This story sounds about right for the irascible Hungarian director. Thanks for sharing it!

[@jbeane8737]

So confident for her first movie. Adorable

[@craigmarquis5435]

She’s just incredible, the Page Cavanaugh Trio as well. Love Doris! Love the guitar playing of Al Viola as well as the talents of the other two musicians.

[@joycespark305]

I saw this film when it first came out and fell in love with Doris immediately. She was a destined to be a STAR without question. My favorite movie, "Love Me Or Leave Me" proved that she could act with the best of them!

[@strongbear3369]

Whatever it is this 17 year olds got it made

[@Brian-pf7qq]

For someone who was a band singer, she was a natural when it came to acting. She could do it all sing, act, dance, comedy, drama and she excelled at everything. She was nominated for a Oscar for Pillow talk, but also she should have been nominated for The man who knew too much and midnight lace.

[@randomytguy7315]

What a handsome pianist

[@hep2jive]

True lol!

[@grandmalotte8189]

Happy birthday Doris Day, love ya a bunch. 1922-2019. Happy 98th, you forever live on through my music playlist. Ha, joke.

[@francescaconsoli7050]

my sister just sang this for a party and did great justice to Doris Day who is the best singer ever

[@ramontravis5191]

[@user-yg8gg7dc4l]

💔 I love her voice //-//)

[@tnate6004]

I love that Doris kills this song perfectly because it's more cynical and edgy than her usual material. The Page Cavanaugh Trio is amazing.

[@nw8606]

RIP Doris 💛💛

[@kittyhunter3595]

I love her she is such a good singer

[@alessandromoon4650]

Excellent and Alluring Song delivery via Doris.

[@hifrommike2120]

From one of my fave films.

[@fromthesidelines]

Accompanied by the Page Cavanaugh Trio.

[@TboneSteak1992]

Her voice is addictived

[@mjonir62]

Is Doris channeling a little Martha Raye in this film, her first acting role? Enchanting nonetheless. Great song. Thanks for posting.

[@angelicafication]

good morning i'd like to get higher than a kite LMAO

[@m_eleni]

Απίστευτο!!! Τρεις μέρες πριν την άκουγα και συγκεκριμένα άκουγα ξανά και ξανά αυτό το τραγούδι και ταξίδευα... Τώρα ταξιδεύει εκείνη... Πάντα έλεγα πόσο πολύ θα ήθελα να την είχα γνωρίσει κάπου, κάπως, κάποτε... Καλό ταξίδι, Ντόρις! Καλό Παράδεισο!Έζησες μια μεγάλη ζωή και το πιο σημαντικό είναι ότι δεν "έφυγες" μόνη... Σε ένα πικάπ ακούγεται και θα ακούγεται ακόμα -για πάντα- η φωνή σου...

[@lorihatesu7566]

[@Fauzanarief-n7i]

Veru underrated song

[@richardlee8495]

shouldn't have said "settled." Doris was a band singer and a recording artist, and had never made a movie. director Michael Curtiz took a chance on her in a starring role "introducing" they billed her, and a Warner Bros. musical star was born. she was a very good singer, but i much prefer Garland. Hutton didn't have the voice of either of them, as she readily admitted. but she had a buoyancy and a spirit that were all her own, and made her a very big star at Paramount. she was terrific in MGM's Annie Get Your Gun (replacing a sick and ailing Judy), and would have been equally terrific as Ado Annie in Oklahoma!, R&H's first choice, but, unwisely, she turned them down, the part wasn't big enough, she said, and probably regretted it. she never made another musical movie.

[@DelGuy03]

I just watched the movie for the first time. I indeed expected an "introducing..." sort of billing for her, but no: she was one of the four stars billed before the title.

[@richardlee8495]

they wanted Judy Garland, or Betty Hutton, for this. and they had to settle for Doris Day. the rest is...

[@curlyb5306]

Thank God they did!

[@christineharris5767]

In my opinion Doris was a much better singer than Judy Garland & Betty Hutton, well, she was never a real singer.

[@christineharris5767]

My mother sang this song to me when I was about four years old and I have never forgotten it. Love Doris Day ❣️
