Fascinating attempt to bring together a number of disparate elements - whimsical comedy, songs, death - plus big city slum rat Sinatra and wholesome Day in the same frame.

A bit flabby and even wishy-washy in spots... But, even so, there's a lot of warmth and feeling in this elaborately optimistic film, and Mr. Sinatra does put quills on the misfit before they blunt him to conformance in the end.

Not as good as the original, but Ethel Barrymore is terrific.

Young At Heart is a smartly cast, expertly acted ensemble film, but it unmistakably belongs to Sinatra.

The stunning Doris Day shines in this delightful 50s throw back.. The beach scene with her shows just how sexy she is.. Gig Young is also very good as is the whole cast, minus the mis cast Alan Hale. While Frank's voice is of course fantastic his acting lags, and also plays second fiddle to Days tremendously gorgeous sounds. The dresses glow like another 🌟 in this unforgettable classic..

Young at Heart is a decent film. It is about the lives and romances of three sisters in a musical family. Doris Day and Frank Sinatra give good performances. The screenplay is a little slow in places. Gordon Douglas did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the drama and romance.
