About This Item
YOUNG AT HEART centers on a family headed by a music-loving patriarch (Robert Keith, MEN IN WAR) and his musically inclined daughters looking for romance. Doris Day (THAT TOUCH OF MINK) plays the youngest daughter, Laurie, and Gig Young (CITY THAT NEVER SLEEPS) plays Alex Burke, a likable composer who comes for an extended visit and eventually wins the hearts of all three sisters. Frank Sinatra (COME BLOW YOUR HORN) plays Barney Sloan, a cynical songwriter hired by Alex to do arrangements for an upcoming Broadway show. The praiseworthy cast also includes Dorothy Malone (THE TARNISHED ANGELS) and Elisabeth Fraser (SO BIG) as the older sisters, Ethel Barrymore (PORTRAIT OF JENNIE) as the family's matriarch and Alan Hale, Jr. (TV's GILLIGAN'S ISLAND) as Robert Neary, a successful businessman engaged to the oldest daughter (Malone). YOUNG AT HEART was directed by Gordon Douglas (ONLY THE VALIANT) and beautifully shot in color by the great Ted D. McCord (THE SOUND OF MUSIC, EAST OF EDEN).
