It wasn’t too bad but I believe I would have liked Olivia better in the role.

Well, #GoodMorningMIssDove was an interesting watch.
PS: I think the chances that schoolteachers Miss Dove and Theresa Dunn double dating are very, very small. (still can't believe that Diane Keaton is no longer with us)

I'm not a doctor, but why is she on her back after spinal surgery? #GoodMorningMissDove #TCMParty

Miss Dove... teacher, humanitarian.... robot.

"Good Morning, Miss Dove" is a very episodic movie in which Jennifer Jones plays the title character, a robot teacher. She clearly IS a robot as she talks with zero inflection and sounds about as human as Gort.

When the film begins, the 60-something Miss Dove is teaching her students in a manner that is rigid and joyless. Soon, she begins experiencing medical symptoms and she has one of her students fetch a doctor. Then, throughout the film, Miss Dove experiences a lot of flashbacks--not because of an illness or the ingestion of hallucinogens but because it's all supposed to be inspiring. The one I particularly liked was the first, as it explained why Miss Dove went into teaching...though I would have preferred a flashback in which you saw her creator assembling her from vacuum tubes and bits of metal.

If it sounds like I wasn't thrilled about the film, you are right! There have been a lot of better films about dedicated teachers and Jones' performance was a HUGE deficit of the movie. She seemed almost inhuman and softening her character a bit (so that she'd be less zombie-like) would have improved the picture considerably. It's a shame, as some of the flashbacks are quite enjoyable and the film in not without merit. I liked the various supporting characters and their stories.

My overall score is 5. If they had done something to humanize Miss Dove more and make her the least bit realistic, they film could have earned a much higher score.

Ok, this brill comment on IMDB sums it up for me

Man, if I were one of these students in her hospital room, I’d grab another pillow and save the world from her vinegary persona. With multiple guys in the room, they could never make the charges stick. #GoodMorningMissDove #TCMParty

Maurice’s #Yiddish is quite good. The only demerit: he has a Poylischer accent. #GoodMorningMissDove #TCMParty

That sure looks to me like a photo of a shirtless early-middle-aged Robert Stack posing on the beach.

... as long as Ms. Hamilton doesn't sing!
I'm being unfair, since this - her final film role - brought her lasting immortality.

In addition to Kipp Hamilton, the cast of #GoodMorningMissDove is springled with actors that I know from other films and TV shows. Robert Stack, Chuck Connors and Marshall Thompson among them.

Clearly, Miss Dove's insurance rates are now so high that she can only afford to be carried to the hospital. EMS would be too expensive.

Good point. And yet - like nursing - teachers are usually underpaid and under recognized.

Bringing a couple of my posts back. I believe that "The Towering Inferno" was Ms. Jones final film.
... and yes, that is "Bobby Brady" in that photo. 🤓
