Movie Review: On Moonlight Bay (**1/2 out of 4 stars)
Year of Release: 1951Country of Origin: USA
Director: Roy Del Ruth
Cast: Doris Day, Gordon MacRae
Plot outline: A small-town tomboy falls for the boy-next-door in the years before World War I (IMDb).
The story (**1/2)
How the story unfolds (**1/2 Director Roy Del Ruth keeps everything folksy and wholesome--much in theme like Meet Me in St. Louis but not up to that masterpiece.)
The characters (**1/2 Whilst Doris Day and Gordon MacRae are the obvious stars and carry the movie beautifully, they are helped by a whole range of good supporting performances. But the scene stealer is the always wonderfully witty and sarcastic Mary Wickes who plays the house keeper Stella.)
The acting (**1/2)
Overall rating **1/2 out of 4 stars
