A depiction of the Wrangelkiez neighbourhood in Berlin. The people portrayed tell their life stories. One woman came to the neighbourhood a decade ago to work in Berlin’s still unfinished Brandenburger Airport, one man reminisces his childhood on a Tobacco farm in Kentucky, another speaks of an exceptional day in an otherwise monotonous workplace. These portraits are interwoven with the story of Elpi, a Greek woman who is waiting for the long overdue visit of an old important friend. The outcome of this mixture is a film which captures the lives and perspectives of some of Wrangelkiez’s most commanding citizens, while at the same time evoking the loss that change and time passing means for places and for people.

Musical comedy is pleasant to watch like Tea for Two,the plot in interesting and apart Doris Day who is a star the supporting casting is strong enough to hold the picture,S Z Sakall is amazing who are in trouble with the financial problems and Billy the Wolfe is a priceless acting as crook....but the songs is weak really...Gordon MacRae isn't a good enough. But the gags situations is funny and have beauty girls everywhere!!

Utterly delightful musical of the kind sadly missing today. But how could it miss what with the following: lilting songs by MacRae, flying feet by Nelson, and a sunny sparkle by you know who. Then there's amusement from: a fractured Cuddles Szakall, acid asides by Arden, and clowning around by Billy DeWolfe. Plus, a Technicolor package seamlessly put together by director Butler. Overall, the hundred minutes is a real treat for the eyes, especially for the guys what with all the scantily clad chorus girls. And catch Arden's many innuendos that must have slipped past the censors. And oh yes, there is a story line set during the stock market crash of '29. Naturally, it was a time that made putting on a big Broadway show doubly difficult; then too add a dollop of "No, No, Nanette" for plot-wise amusement. But not to worry, Warner Bros. screenwriters will manage to work things out. Even so, who watches a musical for storyline. All in all, I could savor our duo's crooning of the title tune all day long-- even now. And to the movie itself, I say: "Yes, Yes", to a darn good musical!

"Tea for Two" retooled an older (I think 1920s) musical.This movie is just fun. No big layers...no cosmic statements on the state of the world...Watch it when you want to just relax, watch a movie (where you don't have to shield your young son's eyes), Hear some charming old tunes.Doris Day is a charming American girl / woman in most of her movies---and is what's called a "triple Threat" She CAN sing, Dance AND act! You Movie makers and PLAYWRITERS---esp if you are post Y2K...Rent or DVR a huge pile of these charming old musicals... Watch & listen - as MOST people still respond and still LIKE the charming musical...Absorb their basic structure. Understand WHY these musicals are so GOOD! And write your own musical!!! If you write the quality script / musical / and pretend that Little Brother or your little girl cousin might walk through the room and see your musical ... there are still millions and millions and millions and millions and millions of us - waiting to see n hear YOUR Musical!!! (Just look how well High School Musical did a few years back!!!)

Doris Day was involved in many musicals at Warners from 1948 onwards, and 'Tea for Two' is a typical example. Set in the stock market crash of 1929, this variation on 'putting on a show' has Day as both an heiress and a stage-struck singer and dancer, supported by her friends Jimmy the composer (Gordon MacRae, later to appear to good effect in 'Oklahoma' and 'Carousel'), and Tommy the hoofer (Gene Nelson, the cut-price Fred Astaire who ended up directing Elvis' minor musicals).The score is nice but not that memorable - 'Tea for Two', 'No, No, Nanette', 'I Want To Be Happy', 'Do, Do, Do' - while the story, loosely based on the play No, No, Nanette concerns rivalries, lost investments, and a comic uncle (SZ Sakall, who played the same part in countless films throughout the 1940s and 1950s). Billy de Wolfe and Patrice Wymore round out the cast as a heel of a producer and his sniping leading lady.As a film, 'Tea for Two' passes the time and boasts some great costumes and colour, even if most of the film doesn't have a 1929 feel. And the bookending sequences, with Sakall telling a tale to a roomful of children, doesn't quite sit with the rest of the material. But it isn't bad.
