I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Don't listen to the negative reviews

Blistering performances.

This film feels like a cornucopia--a real assemblage of small pleasures that add up to plenty of enjoyment.Filmed in Technicolor, "Romance on the High Seas", tells the simple story of a dysfunctional married couple--Janis Paige as Elvira and Don DeFore as Michael--who look for reasons to distrust one another. Janis pretends to go on a cruise so she can stay stateside and keep an eye on Michael. Doris Day, in her film debut, plays a gum chewing club singer, the woman Elvira gets to take her place on the cruise. Meanwhile, Michael engages a private detective (Jack Carson) to shadow his wife on the voyage. All of the stars play their parts well, with Ms. Day practically jumping off the screen with enthusiasm and presence.Most of the songs by Styne and Cahn are enjoyable, if not remarkable. The supporting cast is rife with recognizable character actors. "Cuddles" Sakall, especially--as the uncle of Elvira-- brightens the production.A special nod goes to the fashions in this film. Milo Anderson is responsible for the wardrobe. Some of the women in this film are real beauties and their ensembles only compliment their assets.Put all of these elements together and you have an enjoyable film experience.

Doris Day makes her screen-debut as a band singer who gets a free cruise to South America and Jack Carson is the private detective who tails her and naturally falls in love with her spunky charm. Day seems an oddly misplaced tomboy here, wearing fancy dresses and hairdos that look as if they've been dropped down on her from the heavens. Encumbered by the dressy satins and pearls, Doris looks as though she might be more comfortable in an old pair of dungarees, but she makes this insipid plot worth wading through (especially when she sings). The settings are fake-exotic, and it all peters out by the end, but Doris, wonderfully street-smart under her thick pancake make-up, still provides a lot of sparkle. **1/2 from ****

Fortune certainly smiled on the talented Doris Day when she landed her first movie role in this typical late-Forties musical comedy confection. She looks great, sounds terrific and acts with confidence, supported by the best that Warner Brothers could muster (except for the annoying Oscar Levant, an all-time UNfavorite of mine). And, as always, the Warners music department and sound technicians provide a wonderfully lush treat for the ears.Turner Classic Movies, bless 'em, occasionally hauls this one out of their vaults and it's fun to see it uninterrupted and causing one's TV screen to glow with that particularly cool, yet warm at the same time, three-strip Technicolor that Warners seemed to specialize in before Warnercolor's less vibrant tones decorated the studio's color output. Of course the clothes, the elaborately formal sets, and those hairdos (Could any woman back then achieve those coiffures without the aid of a platoon of hairdressers?) all are quintessentially Hollywood just before the Fifties demanded that everything look very modern and somewhat more sleek. But as a way to enjoy a bit of still very entertaining nostalgia, this one is hard to beat!

It is hard to believe that this is Doris Day's first film. She was terrific. I have been a fan of hers since junior high, but had never seen this movie until today (8-30-2003). It is all as good as her more popular movies (Pillow Talk, That Touch of Mink, Send Me No Flowers, etc.)
