dougdoepke Utterly delightful musical of the kind sadly missing today. But how could it miss what with the following: lilting songs by MacRae, flying feet by Nelson, and a sunny sparkle by you know who. Then there's amusement from: a fractured Cuddles Szakall, acid asides by Arden, and clowning around by Billy DeWolfe. Plus, a Technicolor package seamlessly put together by director Butler. Overall, the hundred minutes is a real treat for the eyes, especially for the guys what with all the scantily clad chorus girls. And catch Arden's many innuendos that must have slipped past the censors. And oh yes, there is a story line set during the stock market crash of '29. Naturally, it was a time that made putting on a big Broadway show doubly difficult; then too add a dollop of "No, No, Nanette" for plot-wise amusement. But not to worry, Warner Bros. screenwriters will manage to work things out. Even so, who watches a musical for storyline. All in all, I could savor our duo's crooning of the title tune all day long-- even now. And to the movie itself, I say: "Yes, Yes", to a darn good musical!

warrenk-2 Two for Tea is a standard musical from the early 1950s enhanced by Gene Nelson's dancing and Eve Arden's characteristic wisecracks. Doris Day and Gordon MacRae are obviously fine singers and work well together. But I prefer Day in the musical western Calamity Jane and in her mid-decade dramatic turns in Hitchcock's The Man Who Knew Too Much and the Ruth Etting biopic Love Me or Leave Me. MacRae always seemed wooden to me but that may have been what was required during the period. I haven't seen him in other roles which demanded more from him other than to stand up and sing. The dancing gives the film life as in the Charleston number. Nelson shines when the film becomes his in the Crazy Rhythm jungle sequence and the solo dance on the staircase. I wonder what might have happened if he had been under contract to MGM instead of Warner Bros. Would two Genes at MGM have been one Gene too many? Who can say now, but it's pleasurable to imagine Nelson in a film directed by Stanley Donen.

gkeith_1 Doris great singer. Good dancer. Loved her tap dance. In finale, Patrice Wymore got the most athletic dance part. This could be because in Doris' earlier life she was in a car accident after being trained in dance. In this movie, it looks like Doris has recovered enough to do some widely moved and slower paced dance steps, except I winced when she jumped over some big objects in the finale dancing opposite Gene Nelson.Movie too long, I felt, and drags in places, and that is my reason for giving it a nine. Otherwise, it is excellent. Gordon MacRae is just divine. All the character actors did a good job. Billy De Wolfe always comedic spot-on. Same for Eve Arden. SZ Sakall great as the wealthy uncle.I just love dance movies. You know this when you read my other reviews.

johnmceuen Tea for Two is a true classic. One of the finest performances of Doris Day. Her innocence and demeanor are portrayed wonderfully. This is one of those movies that when you know it is coming on, you tune in with your loved one and a bowl of popcorn, snuggled up on the couch. They don't make movies like this anymore, that's for sure. The music and the dancing is divine! It takes you back in time, to a place where music is essential and a simple piano is all you need to get through the day. A beautiful love story. Doris Day at her best! This was the movie that not only inspired me to want to become a musician, but taught me about true love and being oneself. One of these days, I'm going to own an old inn and have dancers and musicians storm my house to perform. What an awesome rendition of No, No Nannette! Great JOB!
