Kate Mackay (Doris Day) has four boys who someday may lend their names to hurricanes. A monstrosity of a country fixer-upper that needs its lower fixed too. And a poison-pen, drama-critic hubby (David Niven) who sees plays under the worst possible circumstances - by being in the audience. Kate hangs in through thick and thicker in this jovial comedy from the best seller by playwright Jean Kerr. Day brings her trademark radiance to the goings-on and to the songs "Please Don't Eat the Daisies" and "Any Way the Wind Blows." Spouse Niven finds his hawklike critic's eye clouded when a production of a play he wrote decades earlier may bring about his comeuppance. With Janis Paige, Spring Byington and Richard Haydn on hand for snappy comic support, Please Don't Eat the Daisies is breezy family fun.
