Doris Day Sings BY THE LIGHT OF THE SILVERY MOON Saturday Morning at The Hi-Pointe
“By the light of the silvery moon, I want to spoon! / To my honey, I’ll croon love’s tune / Honey moon, keep a shining in June! / Your silvery beams will bring love’s dreams / We’ll be cuddling soon, by the silvery moon”
BY THE LIGHT OF THE SILVERY MOON Screens Saturday November 8th at St. Louis’ fabulous Hi-Pointe Theater (1005 McCausland Ave., St. Louis, MO) at 10:30am.
BY THE LIGHT OF THE SILVERY MOON is a sequel to ON MOONLIGHT BAY and features Doris Day and Gordon MacRae returning as sweethearts in the early 1900s who get to croon some pretty wonderful songs of that period. It’s strictly family stuff, nostalgic and as prettily pictured as a postcard of an Americana that never really existed except in Hollywood’s imagination and Norman Rockwell paintings.
The story takes place just after the end of the first World War and soldier Gordon MacRae is on his way back (with a song on the train of course…) to claim his girl Doris Day from the nerdy neighbor who safeguarded her while he was away. Her little brother Billy Gray is a detective in training trying to save George the turkey from the wrath of the axe butcher parents Leon Ames and Rosemary De Camp prepare for their 20th anniversary. A misunderstanding concerning a visiting actress has the cast in a tizzy and town gossip (started by telegraph office operator Minerva Urecal) is spreading, leading to the ice-skating scene finale where the entire cast joins together in singing the title song.
Wow! Who wouldn’t want to spend a wholesome Saturday morning with this bunch!?!
