America's love affair with clean-cut, tomboyish, freckle-faced Doris Day got a boost with On Moonlight Bay, a period piece from 1951. The film's masterstroke: put Doris in an old-timey musical full of small-town family values and vintage songs. Another inspiration: pair off Doris again with that chesty-voiced man's man and future Rodgers and Hammerstein stalwart, Gordon MacRae (they'd already made Tea for Two and The West Point Story). The story is drawn from Booth Tarkington's Penrod tales, although the movie is also under the sway of Meet Me in St. Louis. The WWI-era family is anchored by parents Leon Ames (the pop from St. Louis) and Rosemary De Camp, with echt-Fifties boy Billy Gray (later of Father Knows Best) as Day's bratty younger brother. Mary Wickes, cinema's eternal sassy housekeeper, provides comic relief. So does radio crooner Jack Smith, who would later host You Asked for It on TV for many years, as Day's maladroit suitor (he's really funny--too bad Preston Sturges never got a hold of him). The material is so relentlessly wholesome you might have to pinch yourself that anybody really believed it, but audiences sure wanted to. The film's popularity prompted a sequel, By the Light of the Silvery Moon, with most of the cast intact. --Robert Horton
Description
sical about a family that moves to a small Indiana town and their tomboy daughter who begins a romance with the neighbor across the street, who bears radically unconventional views on love and money.

 On Moonlight Bay May 12, 2008

On Moonlight Bay
When I was a lot younger I watched this on tv and had been searching for it since. I think it was well made for that time period. Two people in love and how they have to deal with a father not wanting them together. I just love this movie. The music in it is wonderful also. It is so worth the price I paid to have it.

THANK YOU FOR SENDING THIS FILM AND I WOULD BE EVEN MORE ELATED IF YOU HAVE THE CURTESY TO COME BACK TO ME OVER THIS. WHY DID YOU SEND THIS FILM TOGETHER WITH [BY THE LIGHT OF THE SILVERY MOON] BECAUSE YOU CAUSED UK CUSTOMS TO OPEN THE PACKAGE AND COST ME A FURTHER 11-00 STERLING ON TOP OF THE PRICE OF FILMS WHICH WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENDED IF YOU HAD SENT THE FILMS SEPARATELY SO IN SAVING YOURSELVES POSTAGE YOU INCURRED ME CUSTOMS CHARGES WHY ?

We had originally seen By The Light of The Silvery Moon first and loved that. When I found out that that was a sequel we just had to get On Moonlight Bay. This one is very funny and again Doris Day and Gordon MacRae work great together. I do prefer By the Light of The Silvery Moon though :)
