Summary: Meg Ryan, you can't touch Doris Day!
Review: I am a newcomer to Doris Day films. An 80's child, I grew up thinking she was the queen of cheese based on things I'd heard about her films. I'm so glad I took my best friend's advice and checked her stuff out. This particular duo, Hudson, Day, and Randall are now on my fave list for comedy. The comedy here is real - not chock full of unnecessary sexual connotation and scatological references. Don't tell me films about people who are already married and trying to stay together are boring. Hudson and Day are proof of that. The script in this film is great - far more original than anything I've seen lately. Hudson is a hypochondriac who mistakenly believes he's been diagnosed with only a few weeks to live. The film's play on hypochondriacs is great in and of itself - right on the nose about this type of personality! His task to find a new husband for Day weaves a great web of complicated misunderstandings that leave you rolling. The film is full of great detail. I particularly like the way the filmmakers actually found someone to make Rock Hudson look small and puny - the scenes between Hudson and his wife's "future husband" are hilarious. My husband almost choked watching this hulk of a man trying to climb out of a fashionable little sports car. Ladies, my 27 year old husband liked this film as much as I did. I don't think any man could sit through the conversations between Hudson and Randall without a good laugh. I highly recommend this trio for anyone ready for a good script, and a good laugh.

Summary: Hilarious Comedy!
Review: I happened to see this movie on TCM and loved it! Rock goes to the doctor for a check up and overhears him talking to someone else. Thinking the doctor was referring to him, he thinks he's going to die and sets out to find his wife someone to love when he dies, so she won't be all alone. His wife gets suspicious and thinks he's having an affair. But that's all I'm going to say. Don't want to spoil it for you. See it for yourself! I recommend this entirely to anyone and everyone!

Summary: Doesn't Have The Flaws of the New Pillow Talk DVD!
Review: I just bought the boxset that contains all three of Doris and Rock's movies enhanced in anamorphic widescreen. Pillow Talk is my favorite of the movies they made together and Lover Come Back is my second favorite and I had seen both movies before but yesterday was the first time I ever saw Send Me No Flowers and while I prefer the other movies this was good too and the anamorphic widescreen transfer seems to be fine and doesn't have the misframing problems of the badly botched anamorphic widescreen Pillow Talk DVD and I wish I had bought the DVDs for Send Me No Flowers and Lover Come Back seperately instead of this boxset with the terribly flawed Pillow Talk DVD! In Send me No Flowers Rock Hudson plays a hypochondriac named George Kimball who overhears his doctor talking about another patient who is dying and mistakenly thinks he is talking about him and he goes about trying to find a new husband for his wife Judy played by Doris Day so she will have someone to take care of her but she gets suspicious and winds up thinking that he is having an affair and trying to cover it up. Doris and Rock are teriffic as usual and so is Tony Randall who plays their friend and next door neighbor Arnold.

Summary: The Ultimate Acting Trio!!
Review: I originally watched this movie to see Paul Lynde, and while his performance cracks me up, I came to enjoy this movie for far more than his appearance. Hudson plays the ultimate hypochondriac who learns his lesson after overhearing his doctor talking about another patient's grim prognosis and mistaking it for his own. What follows is what makes this one of my favorite movies. One of my favorite lines is when Tony Randall(in his continuing inebriation throughtout the movie) asks the bartender at the party "Did you ever REALLY feel a table? Wake up! Wake up! Live your life!" Well, it's just hilarious. I also loved Lynde as the bubbly plot salesman who "likes people". If you enjoy romance comedies without the profanities and sexual situations a lot of today's movies have, this is one to see if not buy. I never get tired of watching Send Me No Flowers. Hudson, Day, and Randall's other two films together are also worth watching.

Summary: Send Me No Flowers Today
Review: Judy Kimball (Doris Day) and George Kimball (Rock Hudson) have finally tied the knot in their 3rd and last film together. George is a major hypochondriac that when he goes to the doctor he hears his doc telling somebody that they are not expected to live much longer but George thinks he is talking about himself and gets all worried well he then tries to get judy another man before he dies and Judy thinks for sure that George is having an affair with a neighbor! Well he then tells her the truth and that ends it until she sees the doctor and the doc tells her the real story well than George admits to her and they are all hapy once again!

Summary: Send Me No Flowers
Review: Oh Boy! This was a good one! Tony Randall was funny, especially when he was writing the eulogy and kept taking all the nice comments out of it the night the two men spent together. Doris Day was "on to her husband's antics". A true "hypochondriac" in the best way I've ever seen. I just loved the scene when Rock (her husband in the movie) was purchasing the cemetary plots and Paul Lynde was excellent as the salesman. You could tell he was really into his work! I've seen the doctor in several Disney movies too and he plays the part well. And the medicine cabinet......oh my! That was something to see. If you want to have some entertainment, this is certainly a movie to watch. You won't regret seeing it and besides, it's a good movie to share with friends for an evening. Order a pizza or two and ........enjoy the movie!

Summary: Fun with Doris and Rock
Review: Oh yes, another great 60s comedy with Doris and Rock. Their chemistry was so amazing that they can make the most ridiculous of scenarios palatable and funny (See Lover Come Back). This one is a real joy to watch as Rock succumbs to every malady known to man - the cartoon medicine scene is hysterical -- and Doris is there to support him. Tony Randall lends his famously funny helping hand and Paul Lynde as a funeral director is a hoot! Why don't they make movies like this anymore?

Summary: Wonderful Sick Humor (I had to say that).
Review: Rock and Doris are at their 60's romantic comedy best. Clint Walker is superbly cast as the ultra rich, magnificently handsome, old college sweetheart. He had to be bigger and prettier than Rock, and he Sure is! His deep velvety voice is sometimes overlooked because of his striking appearence. A treat for female eyes. Tony Randall completely steals any scene he's in, as the pre-grieving next door neighbor and friend. Funny, funny romp. Brings back great memories.
