Caprice DVD

We love Caprice.  Ann and Stan have both written about the Doris Day film.

You can find the DVD online.  It lists for $19.99 with Amazon offering a sale price of $15.90.

But maybe you're like us?  Happy to order music or film online if you can start streaming immediately but tending to put off ordering anything that has to be delivered.

So when reader KeShawn e-mailed to tell us he found Caprice on DVD at Dollar General for a great price, we hit the dollar stores.


Sure enough, we found it.

And check out that price: $3.95.

The 1967 comedy-thriller is directed by Frank Tashlin .  Doris Day plays a spy and Richard Harris is her romantic lead.  Tashlin's first film was the Bob Hope classic The Lemon Drop Kid.  Other hits he directed include the Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis film Hollywood or Bust and Artists and Models, Jayne Mansfield's The Girl Can't Help It and Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? , Jerry Lewis' Who's Minding The Store and Cinderfella and Doris Day's earlier hit The Glass Bottom Boat.

In the month when conventional wisdom (the press) states the economy is so bad that Wal-Mart is faltering as a result with former customers now streaming into dollar stores, it might be a good time to check out the dollar stores in your area to see what you find.
