Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

HotToastyRag I watched the preview for Caprice and decided I never wanted to rent the movie. It looked so unbelievably silly and stupid, completely fitting in with the lousy movies Doris Day made before her retirement. Against my better judgement, I rented it, fully expecting to turn it off after twenty minutes and pop in a real movie. Not only did I watch Caprice all the way through, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be!Sure, the absurd 60s music by Frank De Vol and the ridiculous yellow wardrobe designed by Ray Aghayan made me roll my eyes and groan at the silliness of the decade. But, besides that, it's just a regular ol' spy flick, with tons of twists and turns that kept me guessing. Doris Day is paired up against Richard Harris, and as she tries to smuggle out a secret formula from a cosmetics company, he tries to catch her in the act and report back to his boss. When romance gets in the way, will they abandon their missions, or is the wooing itself just an act? This isn't nearly as bad as The Glass Bottom Boat, another late-sixties Doris Day flick, but it's a far cry from being a fantastic movie. If you don't mind mediocre movies from the sixties, or you happen to like the bold fashion style from that time period, you can check this one out. The funniest part was when Doris goes to the movies and the marquis displays the advertisement for "Doris Day and Richard Harris in Caprice". Then we hear Doris singing the title song over the opening credits while the real Doris finds her seat in the theater!DLM Warning: If you suffer from vertigo or dizzy spells, like my mom does, this movie might not your friend. There are two extensive skiing scenes where the camera uses POV angles, and that will make you sick. In other words, "Don't Look, Mom!"Kiddy Warning: Obviously, you have control over your own children. However, there's one scary scene involving a tarantula and one scary scene towards the end, so I wouldn't let my kids watch it.

entcaprice Fox Cinema Classics Collection DVD release of Caprice definitely puts the film in its proper place as one the most stylish and best super spy comedy thrillers. Frank Tashlin's beautifully restored film follows his direction of "The Glass Bottom Boat" with a new level of suspense. This time Miss Day really is a spy working for a cosmetic firm avenging the murder of her father while uncovering the heads of the drug syndicate. Yes! from her first movie to a reporter on her hit television series Doris Day has always been a busy working woman. Her leading man, British agent assigned with French Interpol Richard Haris complicates Doris mission.This Last film in cinema scope takes you from Paris to LA to the Swiss Alps and back to Paris in one the most electrifying ski chase ever seen. I recommend giving Caprice a second look with audio comments given by James Bond expert John Cork and myself for a better appreciation of a very interesting, revealing moment of cinema in the summer of 67.'Pierre Patrick'(qv) Co-writer of Que Sera Sera The Magic of Doris Day.

cinemabon The only thing one can say about "Caprice" is that it will not be mentioned along with the name of Doris Day, but as the end of a glorious era of technical innovation in film. Cinemascope, Fox's answer to television, gave theater-goers new thrills, new vistas, and greater entertainment value for their hard earned dollar. We take the wide-screen process for granted, but thanks to an enterprising Frenchman, we have widescreen films to this day. Alfred Newman, the genius composer and conductor, wrote the extension for his Fox opening. For ten years, no one heard the famous opening until May 25, 1977 at the premier of "Star Wars." Unfortunately, Cinemascope ended on a whimper and not a bang, as "Caprice" is simply forgettable in every way.

moonspinner55 It's puzzling this Doris Day comedic spy-thriller never developed more of a following among her fans--must be because 20th Century Fox never released it on video (the DVD belatedly arrived Jan. 2007). Doris plays an industrial designer for a cosmetics firm in Paris who gets caught spying; she's picked up by a competing agency based in Los Angeles, where she is teamed with Richard Harris, who's working as a double agent. "Caprice" has many twists which render the plot nearly superfluous (it's wispy-thin to start with), but director Frank Tashlin keeps it all moving fast, helped by Leon Shamroy's colorful cinematography and the incredible '60s outfits. Day and Harris reportedly weren't fond of this picture (nobody was at the time), however it looks good today, and has some very funny set-pieces such as a chase in an apartment complex, a satirical episode in a movie theater (with Doris watching this movie, trying to get a snip of a girl's hair), and in the elevator, where Doris does a priceless comic turn with a cup of water. A fun time, loose and swinging, and quite different from what Miss Day was turning out at this point in her career. ***1/2 from ****
