Absolutely the worst movie.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

The cast, the film's swiping at radio and film, that it was a musical (something that would fill some people's heads with dread but count me as a fan) and that it was directed by Michael Curtiz are reasons enough to see 'My Dream is Yours'. While all have done better work, most of the film has enough to make it a very well done worthwhile film.Adolphe Menjou is pretty wasted and does little with his role, that if given more to do in material and given more screen time could have been really juicy. The satirical elements do fare very nicely and induces a great deal of amusement, but there are parts that could have had more bite, some of it was a little too on the safe, gentle side. 'My Dream is Yours', as has been noted, is not perfect but has a lot that works.However, 'My Dream is Yours' is a beautiful-looking film, the colour is lavish and the production and costume designs as elegant as can be. Curtiz directs admirably once again, again more proof that he could direct musicals very competently and was undervalued.Very memorable songs help, especially the lovely "I'll String Along With You". Choreographically it's exuberantly witty and graceful, with one of the highlight scenes being the sheer dazzling delight that is the animated sequence.'My Dream is Yours' is scripted with much nostalgic charm, a pleasant wit that does bite with Eve Arden and it avoids being too sentimental or saccharine. The story is nothing special, but is light on its feet and has such a warm heart that one cannot help being endeared to it.Doris Day has a natural sweetness and sassy spunk that suits her down to the ground, and her singing as always is heavenly. Jack Carson is somewhat unconventional as a leading man in the type of role he has here, but he displays immense likability here. Eve Arden is classy and sharp in wit, and while it is a samey role for him it is the curmudgeonly role that SZ Sakall excels in very well.On the whole, very pleasant and fun, well worth catching. 8/10 Bethany Cox

A considerably reworked remake of "Twenty Million Sweethearts" (1934), this one features Doris Day in the Dick Powell part. Most contemporary critics found it disappointing after Romance on the High Seas, but there are plenty of songs (even if there are no musical production numbers at all – let alone Busby Berkeley set- pieces). Most contemporary critics also complained that the script lacked wit and originality. Frankly, the lack of production numbers didn't worry me. The songs themselves are put over with a great deal of verve and bounce – with the exception of the Lee Bowman numbers which are delivered at a slower pace but sung quite pleasantly by Hal Derwin. Doris Day handles herself with the same pep and confident charm she displayed in "Romance on the High Seas". As for the script, I found it very amusing. True, the plot is old-hat, but it makes a good vehicle for witty lines. Furthermore, there are so many inside jokes, that it's a real fun picture for those of us who know our Hollywood. For instance, the guy who pesters Carson for money is his real-life brother, Robert. In real life, of course, it was the other way around. And I love the bit when Doris Day's "Martha Gibson" is so anxious to meet a radio talent scout at her uncle's bar that she brushes aside one of Hollywood's greatest directors, William Wyler! And how about when Doris is gonged by Ray Heindorf (here playing a night club owner) and Carson advices Doris to take no notice: "That guy is tone deaf!" In another sequence, Curtiz himself can actually be glimpsed – smiling yet! – behind Carson's right shoulder at a radio rehearsal. Unfortunately, the film comes to a good climax when our heroine finally breaks into the big radio time – but, alas, it doesn't end there but continues for a sluggish twenty minutes or so in order to tie up all the romantic loose ends. This last portion of the film deserved to be considerably trimmed. Also rather uninspired, in my opinion, is the very well thought-of cartoon sequence in which Carson and Day cavort in juvenile Easter Bunny outfits with a technically mediocre and harmlessly unfunny Bugs Bunny. The song for this sequence, "Freddie, Get Ready", was easily the least tuneful in the whole movie. I really enjoyed all the others and – as I said above – Doris Day both sings and acts with presence and charm. She gets great support from Jack Carson and the rest of the cast, particularly Eve Arden, S.Z. Sakall, Lee Bowman, Edgar Kennedy, Sheldon Leonard and Franklin Pangborn. Menjou is only moderately effective (and despite his high billing, his role is relatively small). Curtiz's direction is certainly admirably polished. But, aside from a long take in Menjou's office, it is technically uninventive – but that's the way most fans like it!

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie - I thought Doris Day/Jack Carson were especially great and who cannot mention the great Eve Arden who is always a jewel as well as Cuddles!! The movie is great entertainment and I loved it. While this movie is over 50 years of age, it still is current and upbeat and fun. The pace of the film is quick and lively; the singing is great and the storyline good. I wish the films of today would be a repeat of My Dream is Yours - I know that times have changed, but music is music and it seems that musical pictures are a thing of the past and what a shame that is but then I guess musical talent such as Doris Day/Judy Garland, etc. are no longer available. That, too, is a shame.

The movie tells the story of Doug Blake (Jack Carson) as he searches for a new radio singer star in order to replace his conceited former friend Gary Mitchell (Lee Bowman), who has just refused to sign another contract. In New York Doug is spellbound by the singing talents of young war widow Martha Gibson (Doris Day). He brings her and her little son Freddy to Hollywood, where Martha and her manager Doug have to go through all the difficulties that an unknown singer has to face on the way to success. Gradually, Doug also falls in love with Martha, who however is more attracted by Gary Mitchell. We can't wait to see, of course, who will finally get the girl ...The familiar story line (with a musician rising from being a nobody to being a well-known and recognized star) is often delivered in a boring and either over-sentimental or spiritless way by other movies of this kind. In contrast, "My Dream is Yours" combines an original, heart-felt story with a good script and excellent direction. And there is Doris Day at the age of twenty-five! She may already appear quite charming in some of the better-known comedies that were produced ten or fifteen years later. Here her performance is so delightful to look at and her singing so refreshing to listen to that I was overwhelmed. If you like Doris Day, you simply have to see this movie.
