James, in his Oxford production of Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus, Richard Burton pronounced that phrase “kay SER-ah, ser-AH,” and translated it as intended by Marlowe, “Whatever will be, must be.” A much more ominous phrase than Miss Day’s breezy rendering.
Thank you for reminding me of sunnier times. My mother used to watch the Doris Day Show regularly.
