    Young at Heart is a soft-pedaled, musicalized remake of 1938's Four Daughters. Robert Keith takes over the Claude Rains role as paterfamilias to a family of musical prodigies, all girls: Doris Day, Dorothy Malone, Elizabeth Fraser (the fourth daughter was written out of proceedings, no great loss). Keith's new boarder Gig Young, a musical-comedy composer, becomes the three daughters' heart balm, whether he wants to our not. When he gets stuck creatively, Young invites his tempestuous pal Frank Sinatra to help him finish his score. Sinatra essays the old John Garfield role, retaining a generous supply of Garfield's chip-on-shoulder edginess. But whereas Garfield's character dies in Four Daughters, Sinatra survives for a happily-ever-after clinch with Doris Day. Most of the songs heard in Young at Heart were already standards in 1954--with the notable exception of the Johnny Richards-Carolyn Leigh title number, which of course became a part of Frank Sinatra's standard repertoire.

    February 16, 2005: Young at Heart is a heart warming story of a down on his luck musician and his love for his wife. Doris Day stars as Lorie, a fun loving American girl from a musical family, who falls for their border's friend, Barney, wonderfully played by Frank Sinatra. Lorie tries to turn Barney more human and life loving while he falls in love with her. When she announces her engagement to Alec, the family's border, Barney and her sister Amy are broken hearted. Barney shows how much he loves Lorie and how much Amy loves Alec- or think she does. On her wedding day, Lorie elopes with Barney. They live together for several monthes, Barney all the time believing that his wife is in love with Alec. On Christmas Eve with the family Barney tries to kill himself but has life-saving surgery done when he realizes that Lorie loves him and they are going to be parents. This tear jerking story is a must see for any fan of Frank Sinatra, Doris Day, musicals, or sad films.

    September 20, 2003: My wife got me hooked on Young at Heart. It's a twist on the classic good looking, talented guy does not win the girl. Sure every girl in the house falls for Alex (Gig Young). Frank Sinatra shows up to help Alex and has a ''life's victim mentality'' (don't we all sometimes?). It takes Laurie (Doris Day) to realize Barney Sloan's (Frank) potential. When Alex (Gig Young) proposes to Laurie (Doris Day) and she accepts, Barney Sloan sees it as another of Life's dirty tricks on him and goes into a depression. Laurie realizes that talented and successful Alex does not really need her. Barney has talent and just needs love and encouragement that he never had in his life to become just as successful. What she does not realize is what a job it's going to be to get Barney (Frank) to believe in himself. Some great, great, Frank Sinatra tunes here including: *Just one of those things. *Quarter to three (set up joe). *Young at heart. *Someone to watch over me. It's worth it just see Frank do these standards. Some great Doris Day tunes, and you get to see Alan Hale (the skipper on Gilligan's Island) being himself. Great flick!
