Love Me or Leave Me (film) Love Me or Leave Me (film) Love Me or Leave Me is a 1955 biographical romantic musical drama film that tells the life story of Ruth Etting, a singer who rose from dancer to movie star. It stars Doris Day as Etting, James Cagney as gangster Martin "Moe the Gimp" Snyder, her first husband and manager, and Cameron Mitchell as pianist/arranger Myrl Alderman, her second husband. It was written by Daniel Fuchs and Isobel Lennart and directed by Charles Vidor. After kicking a customer for getting fresh, 1920s Chicago nightclub singer and dime-a-dance girl Ruth Etting is in jeopardy of
Tell Me That You Love Me, Junie Moon to help each other. Unlike Minnelli's previous film, 1969's "The Sterile Cuckoo", which was successful artistically and financially, as well as netting Minnelli an Oscar nomination as Best Actress, "Tell Me That You Love Me, Junie Moon" was a failure with critics and at the box office. Minnelli's next film two years later, "Cabaret", not only won her the Academy Award as Best Actress, but also established her as a major star. Olive Films announced in 2016 that it would release "Tell Me That You Love Me, Junie Moon" on DVD and Blu-ray for the first time on August 16,
