Description

Doris Day and Frank Sinatra team up in an entertaining musical that is also an absorbing romantic drama. Laurie Tuttle (Doris Day) and her two attractive sisters live with their father and Aunt Jessie in a small town in Connecticut. When Alex Burke (Gig Young), a composer working on a musical comedy, arrives on the scene, both Laurie and her sister Fran fall in love with him. Alex calls in a friend, the embittered pianist and composer, Barney Sloan (Frank Sinatra), to help him arrange the musical's score. Barney promptly falls in love with Laurie, who has recently become Alex's fiancee. On the eve of her wedding to Alex, however, Laurie finds out about Fran's feelings for her intended husband.

Comments about Young at Heart:

An outwardly bright and entertaining film with what might have been a great combination of Day and Sinatra but he seems to be in a permanently depressed mood and contrasts with Day's expected brightness. It has been said that each respected the other's ability to deliver with feeling some of the great love songs and this film has some great songs by Cole Porter, Harold Arlen, Johnny Mercer and the Gershwins including "Someone to watch over me" and "One for my baby and one more for the road" both solos for Sinatra and "My love is ever you my love" a duet for the two stars. The production had its problems with Sinatra refusing to work if Doris Day's husband Marty Melcher was on the set and insisting that the end of the story be changed so that his character did not die as in the original story. He also objected strongly to the Cameraman Charles Lang who had to be replaced before filming continued. He did, however, organise a birthday party for Ethel Barrymore, to her great delight; she was by this time very frail.
