It's Sheer Magic
Review date: 2008-02-23 Rating: 10 out of 10
As a soldier back in 1951 I walked miles to see this new singing sensation. The film in the UK was retitled "It's Magic" and it certainly was and is. Doris Day never fails in her musical films to give a fabulous performance, I'm just jealous of Jack Carson

From the People Who Brought You Casablanca!
Review date: 2007-11-15 Rating: 10 out of 10
"Casablanca" has "As Time Goes By," and "Romance on the High Seas" has "It's Magic!"
And it truly is! This Michael Curtiz comedy, starring a young starry-eyed Doris Day playing opposite a delightfully funny Jack Carson has everything that used to make you want to go to the movies: Excellent music, excellent comedy, and excellent dancing (Busby Berkeley numbers, yet!). The story, which is perfectly ridiculous and ridiculously perfect, is too complicated to go into here, and totally irrelevant. It is merely the framework for ninety-nine minutes of sheer entertainment.
Catch the scene at the bar in Trinidad between Jack Carson and Oscar Levant and an anonymous pie-eyed patron! High Farce at its best. And guess what? The movie has extra features that are actually worth seeing: i.e., a Loony Tunes "I Taw a Putty Tat!" cartoon with Sylvester the Cat and Tweety Bird, and a specially-made trailer with Doris Day and Janis Paige that actually makes you want to watch the film again.
This DVD brings back memories of a gentler time when going to the movies was fun!
