Summary: Another great one from Doris and Rock!
Review:

I can't imagine not loving a movie with such a perfect trio as Doris Day, Rock Hudson and Tony Randall. I could watch this film again and again and laugh hysterically each time!

George Kimball (Rock Hudson) is a hopeless hypochondriac who, after overhearing his doctor speaking with a specialist about another of his patients, believes he 'could go at any minute'. He convinces his best friend and neighbor Arnold Nash(Tony Randall) of his impending demise causing Arnold to immediately immerse himself in a drunken stupor.

Deciding to keep his coming death from his wife Judy (Doris Day), George and Arnold set out to find a new husband for her.

Enter Burt Powers (Clint Walker).

George is trying to convince Judy that her old school flame is the best thing in the world. When Judy sees George being kissed by a newly divorced woman she immediately jumps to the wrong conclusion. To calm her down George is forced to tell her of his condition.

The fun of this movie is watching Rock dig deeper and deeper into trouble. Doris Day's character completely belives her beloved is near death and will go to any length to help him. That is, until she learns the truth!

Paul Lynde who appears as a well-meaning funeral director is a hoot! He brings a whole new element of funny into the film.

I highly recommend this movie. You certainly will not regret it. I can only hope it will be released onto DVD VERY soon!

Summary: Doris,Rock,and Tony's 3nd movie together
Review: Doris and Rock are finally married in this third film together.George(Rock) thinks he's dying,and everyone believes him untill the end.Tony Randall is so funny when he's writting George's Eulogy,and keeps changing it while Rock is yealing at him.Out of the three films,this one's not the greatest,but I still enjoyed "Send me no flowers." Also,Burt Bacharach wrote the theme song.It was one of his first,and Doris loved singing the record.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Send Me No Flowers...........Just SEND Me!
Review: Doris Day,Rock Hudson and Tony Randall teamed up for a third time to rekindle the Pillow Talk/Lover Come Back magic that they had all been successful with.

Day and Hudson star as a married couple,the husband is a hypocondriac.He takes pill after pill,thinking he has all these niggly ailments. His wife knows better,she fills sleeping pills with sugar,and humours her husband,knowing that most of what he says he has only exists in his foolish head.

He then misunderstands a doctor's prognosis,and thinks he is going to die.He wants to make sure that his wife will be cared for after his demise,so he tries to set her up with a high school sweetheart.It does not work,as she thinks he is having an affair,and is trying to keep her busy.

A great comedy of errors,directed by Norman Jewison,and featuring Day singing the title song.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Bright, Colorful, and Silly
Review: Feeling in the mood for an over-the-top 60s classic? Check out Doris Day, Rock Hudson, and Tony Randall in Send Me No Flowers.

Hudson plays George Kimball, a hypochondriac who, on one of his regular visits to the doctor, overhears a conversation that makes him think that he's about to die. He tells his friend and neighbor, Arnold (Randall), his secret, and the two of them begin to plan George's funeral. George decides to shelter his wife, Judy (Day), from the horrible truth, but he also realizes that she won't be able to manage life on her own. So George takes matters into his own hands and begins searching for her second husband. Meanwhile, Judy becomes suspicious of George's actions and starts to suspect him of having an affair.

This movie was filmed in true 60s style. It's bright and colorful -- and silly. It's full of over-exaggerated slapstick comedy. And it's got all kinds of eccentric characters -- like the gossipy milkman, the swinging bachelor, and the over-enthusiastic cemetery plot salesman. It's a simple movie, but the simplicity makes it just that much funnier.

Summary: Another great comedy from the Hudson-Day-Randall trio
Review: Following on from the success of Pillow Talk (1959) and Lover Come Back (1962), the stars teamed up for the last time in this amusing romantic comedy.

The set-up is slightly different this time: Day and Hudson are married; he's a hypochondriac who gets the wrong end of the stick and thinks he's only got a few weeks to live, and tries to make the best of the rest of his life without his wife finding out.

It's all pretty funny, and delightfully entertaining, excellently performed as you'd expect from the line-up. Some nice turns in the supporting cast, too.

Summary: GReat for collectors of this genre and series
Review: Had the privilege of enjoying all three Hudson/Day comedies at Radio City Music Hall. For those of us who lived that epoch, comedy was enjoyable without being offensive, adult without causing embarrassment, with the sweetness of the previous decades and the spark of the 50-60's stage. Too bad that time is gone, and really great that it has been preserved on DVD for us and many others to enjoy!

Summary: Send Me No Flowers
Review: Head pains, stomach pains, nausea, insomnia. . . these are only some of the ailments Rock Hudson is suffering from. My gosh. . . he must be severely ill, maybe even on his death bed. George Kimball, played be Rock Hudson is a hypochondriac who frequents his doctor's office; you might even call it his second home. During one of his regular visits, George mistakes a dying man's diagnosis as his own and believes he has only a couple weeks to live. Oh, his poor wife Judy, (played by Doris Day) what will she ever do without her loving husband? Not wanting to leave Judy alone with no one to care for her, George decides not to tell her of his upcoming death and instead find her a new husband. What a guy, right? But as her husband starts trying to set her up on dates with other men, Judy becomes oddly suspicious. Is George trying to cover up his own affair by distracting her? Hudson and Day are a remarkable pair and when you throw in Tony Randall, who plays Hudson's confidant, you got an hilarious comedy trio.
