Summary: Want a good laugh???
Review: This is a very, very funny movie. I had no idea it would be so good. Written by Julius Epstein, directed by Norman Jewison and starring Rock Hudson, Doris Day, Edward Andrews and Tony Randall with the great Paul Lynde doing a hilarious turn as a funeral home manager. Hypocondriac Hudson overhears his doctor (Andrews) discussing the impending demise of a terminally ill patient and figures that he is the unfortunate person being discussed. He thereby triggers a magnificent comedy of errors, misunderstandings and lies. One of the very few movies that have caused me laugh out loud even when watching it on my own. Usually I find these '60s comedies pleasantly nostalgic and mildly amusing at best but this film is just out and out FUNNY! It reminds me a little of "Guide For The Married Man" in spirit. I LOVE it!! Highly recommended. The dvd has a great anamorphic wide screen picture and the colors are great. Nothing but a trailer in the way of extras (I suppose a commentary from Doris Day and Tony Randall would be too much to ask for) but still worth the money. I'm glad I bought this.

Summary: Doris and Rock together for the last time
Review: This is Doris and Rock's third and final film together ("Pillow Talk" and "Lover Come Back" are the other two). This time they are married suburbanites, Rock the hypochondriachal husband, Doris the patient ditzy housewife. When Rock convinces himself he's dying, his plot to find Doris a second husband convinces her he's having an affair.

Particulary funny are the scenes where Tony Randall (the neighbor) and Rock cruise the country club to find a new husband for Doris. Rock "He's reasonably good looking." Tony "Not as reasonable as you George." Also, keep an eye out for Doris' fifty wig changes. They come about every 5 minutes.

Paul Lynde has a small part but it's the Doris and Rock chemistry that make this movie worthwhile. This movie was based on a play and although it's fun, lacks the zip of "Pillow Talk" and "Lover Come Back." Still a must have for any Rock and Doris fan.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Another Feel-Good Movie from Rock and Doris!
Review: This is the 3rd and final movie made by Hollywood's famous comedy-duo (Rock Hudson and Doris Day). Rock plays a hypochondriac. He misinterprets a conversation his doctor has and thinks he is a dying man. Hiding his shock-discovery from his wife (Doris Day) he starts his crusade to find her a replacement husband. More misunderstandings result with Doris leaving him as she believes he's hiding an affair.

This really is a zany, feel-good film, a total escape from reality featuring the equally cheery title theme song written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Another sparkling Day and Hudson winner!
Review: This is the last of the Day/Hudson/Randall movies, and it's a fitting ending to a wonderful trio of movies. Rock Hudson takes center stage in this movie, and he is wonderful as a hypochondriac who sets out to find a new husband for his wife when he believes he is going to die. The ensuing results are witty and timeless. Paul Lynde is on hand to steal a couple scenes as an overeager "salesman."

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Can Doris save Rock's belly-achin'?
Review: This is the third film with the teaming of Doris Day, Rock Hudson and Tony Randall. The first was PILLOW TALK (1959) and then LOVER COME BACK (1961). This time Doris and Rock play a married couple living in a nice, quiet residential neighborhood (Universal lot). Tony Randall is the next door neighbor. Rock is a hypochondriac and he dreams in 1950's television commercial style. The wide medicine cabinet in the bathroom is just full of what ever could cure him. Meanwhile, Doris is outside in her bathrobe to get the morning newspaper. Ernie the Milkman (Dave Willock) runs up to Doris with the delivery and some town gossip to go with it. But wouldn't you know it, Doris gets stuck outside in her bathrobe. She yells for "George", but he is in the shower. Now getting around to the other side of the house is another matter. Naturally, she does not want to be seen, but the young man, Vito (Clive Clerk), the dry cleaners delivery man, sees her and boy does he whistle at her. Hal March plays his usual ladies man role. You may remeber him from The George Burns & Gracie Allen Show (1950) and a couple "I Love Lucy" episodes. Edward Andrews plays "Ralph", Rock's doctor. Rock overhears his doctor talking on the phone to another doctor. Rock thinks the doctor is talking about him, that he only has a couple weeks left to live. Paul Lynde is in an unforgettable role as the cemetary plot salesman of Green Hills Cemetary. Tony Randall is cute as Rock's concerned, emotional and sometimes drunk friend. What a fun movie to watch.

Summary: Not too bad a flick for Doris and Rock
Review: This movie was okay. Not as great as Doris Day's and Rock Hudson's first pairing, but still entertaining. A must see, though, for their fans.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My favorite Flick !
Review: You gotta love how Doris Day has a unique way of throwing tantrums as she does in this movie when her husband admits to having an affair. To smooth out their marriage just before his death, George,(Rock)makes it his mission to find judy a *new* husband, because he believes he'll be dying soon ! Full of good, clean, humor. My favorite scene is when Judy, (doris)is locked outside the house and ends up in a tizie with egg on her slippers and leaves in her hair ! If you like classics, like Doris Day . . You'll absolutely love this flick :)
