Collection of five musicals from the 1940s and '50s. 'Annie Get
Your Gun' (1950) stars Betty Hutton as backwoods sharpshooter Annie
Oakley. Plucked out of obscurity by Buffalo Bill (Louis Calhern),
the rough-edged Annie is groomed for a leading role in Bill's world
famous Wild West show. However, Annie has a rival in the form of
rifleman Frank Butler (Howard Keel), a man she soon falls in love
with. Songs include 'Anything You Can Do' and 'There's No Business
Like Show Business'. In 'Easter Parade' (1948) Fred Astaire plays
one half of a dance team who is ditched by his partner. Deciding he
can make a star out of anyone he wants, he chooses a lowly chorus
girl (Judy Garland) as his new partner. Songs include 'A Couple of
Swells', 'Stepping Out With My Baby' and 'Shaking the Blues Away'.
In 'Calamity Jane' (1953) Doris Day stars as the famous
frontierswoman, who would rather hit targets than chase men - until
she falls for 'Wild Bill' Hickok (Keel). However, he would rather
shoot Indians than chase after a tomboy like Calamity Jane. Songs
include 'The Black Hills of Dakota' and the Oscar-winning 'Secret
Love'. 'High Society' (1956), based on 'The Philadelphia Story'
play by Philip Barry, stars Grace Kelly as socialite Tracy Lord
who, even as she prepares for her second marriage, still has
obvious feelings for her ex-husband (Bing Crosby). She also strikes
up a friendship with a reporter (Frank Sinatra), who has been sent
to cover her society wedding. Songs include 'Who Wants to Be a
Millionaire' and the famous Crosby/Sinatra duet 'Well, Did You
Evah'. 'Meet Me in S.Louis' (1944) follows Esther Smith (Garland),
a young woman from St. Louis who falls in love with the boy next
door. The film is set in 1904, when the city hosted the World's
Fair. Songs include 'Meet Me in St. Louis', 'Have Yourself a Merry
Little Christmas' and 'The Trolley Song'.

Rock Hudson and Doris Day team up for their third and final film
together. George Kimball (Hudson) is a hypochondriac who mistakenly
believes that he is going to die after overhearing his doctor
discussing a terminal case. He enlists the help of his best friend
and neighbour, Arnold (Tony Randall), in finding a new spouse for
wife Judy (Day), but all does not go smoothly. When Judy's former
paramour Bert (Clint Walker) shows up at their country club, George
finds himself actually encouraging his attentions!
Collection of films starring Doris Day. In 'Please Don't Eat the
Daisies' (1960) Day stars as housewife Kate McKay, who moves out of
New York to the suburbs with her husband Larry (David Niven) and
their four sons. However, when Kate finds out Larry has been
keeping up a partying lifestyle in the city and has been seen out
with Broadway star Deborah Vaughan (Janis Paige), she begins to
suspect he is up to no good. In the lighthearted musical 'Calamity
Jane' (1953), Day stars as the famous female sharpshooter who would
rather hit targets than chase men - until she falls for 'Wild Bill'
Hickok (Howard Keel), who would rather shoot Indians than chase
after a tomboy like Calamity Jane. The film features the
Oscar-winning song 'Secret Love'. In 'The Glass Bottom Boat' (1966)
Bruce Templeton (Rod Taylor) is the boss of a research lab who
hires the object of his affections, Jennifer Nelson (Day), to be
his biographer in an effort to get close to her. Things don't work
out as Bruce plans when his friend General Wallace Bleeker (Edward
Andrews) tells him that he suspects Jennifer of being a Russian
spy. In 'Young Man With a Horn' (1950) Kirk Douglas stars as
trumpet player Rick Martin. Rick takes his music very seriously and
becomes a star but soon he finds himself in trouble as a result of
his passion for jazz, his fiery temper and getting mixed up with
singer Jo Jordan (Day) and her friend Amy North (Lauren Bacall).
'Love Me Or Leave Me' (1955) tells the story of singer Ruth Etting
(Day) who rose to fame as a movie star in the 1920s. Unfortunately
her success was not just down to her talent as she was involved
with notorious mobster Marty Sydney (James Cagney) who helped make
her famous but made her life miserable. In 'Billy Rose's Jumbo'
(1962) Day stars as Kitty Wonder, a girl who runs a circus with her
father, Pop (Jimmy Durante). Their business is in dire trouble due
to Pop's gambling and they soon begin to lose most of their acts to
a rival circus run by John Noble (Dean Jagger). Kitty and Pop still
have their star attraction, Jumbo the elephant, and a new wire
walker named Sam Rawlins (Stephen Boyd) who Kitty takes a shine to.
Sam, however, is not who he appears to be...
