Doris Day filmography with Warners after filming "Young at Heart" (1954) with Frank Sinatra. Day then campaigned for more dramatic parts. Her portrayal of singer Ruth Etting in "Love Me or Leave Me" (1955) with James Cagney, was well received by critics and was a box office hit. However, her follow-up films, Alfred Hitchcock's remake of "The Man Who Knew Too Much" (1956), Andrew L. Stone's "Julie" (1956), and George Abbott and Stanley Donen's film version of "The Pajama Game" (1957) were less successful among the critics and the public alike. Day's star attained greater heights with the success of "Pillow Talk" in
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,
