Love Me or Leave Me looks great and comes with great production values. As a biopic film it falls a little flat though as the two main characters aren't really fully developed enough to create the desired tension the story needs. This in turn weakens the relationship between the two leads as its hard to understand why Day's character has fallen so hard for her thug boyfriend, played a bit one note by Cagney. Day looks stunning, sexy and sounds great in the musical numbers. She does a wonderful job interpreting the classic Etting songs. I think the one dimensionality of the Cagney character is the central weakness here, but Love Me or Leave Me is still a film worth checking out, particularly if you're a Doris Day fan.
