great movie

This is one of their best films together. I love it when she slaps him in the face and tells him he must be dreaming. Great fun for the whole family.

Great 60s movie

If you enjoy Rock Hudson/Doris Day movies, you will love this cute movie. While it doesn't contain the violence or foul language that permeates the movies of the past 20 years, it merely entertains, providing a fun escape from life. Tony Randall is great, as usual, and the movie provides the typical Hudson/Day comedy. No special effects, just good, clean humor.

One of my favorites

I love Doris Day movies and this is one of the best. You can't beat the Doris Day, Rock Hudson, and Tony Randall trio.

Day and Hudson's Third and Last Pairing in a Freewheeling Marital Farce Stolen by Randall

After directing Doris Day in 1963's still-hilarious The Thrill of It All!, Norman Jewison showed similar comic sensibilities with this screwball 1964 marital farce complemented by a sharp screenplay by longtime veteran Julius Epstein. This one represents something of a departure in that Day and Rock Hudson, in their third and last pairing, play a married couple from the outset. As George and Judy Kimball, they are a happily married suburban couple hamstrung by his persistent hypochondria. Convinced that he is dying after a regular check-up, George spends the rest of the story preparing for what he thinks will be his imminent death, including setting up Judy with her next husband, a former suitor whom they literally run into at their country club.

Unlike the previous two films, Hudson actually dominates this movie, and he is in peak comic form with a dryly funny turn as George. With her glamour minimized in favor of her homespun likeability, Day is relegated to the role of the confused wife here, though she has funny moments along the way. Randall steals practically all his scenes as devoted neighbor Arnold constantly in a drunken stupor in his premature bereavement over George's departure, and Paul Lynde has a riotous scene as an overzealous memorial park director. This one may lack the will-she-won't-she dilemma of the first two films, 1959's Pillow Talk and 1961's Lover Come Back and is usually dismissed as a domestic comedy, but I think the set-up is genuinely clever and the laughs well-earned. The only extra on the 2003 DVD is the original theatrical trailer. For those interested in all three films, your best bet is to purchase the bargain-priced Doris Day and Rock Hudson Comedy Collection.

working on my collection

I've enjoyed Doris Day comedies since I was a kid. With DVDs
one can watch a favorite whenever the mood strikes. I have to
say that I much prefer "Pillow Talk" and "Lover Come Back"
to this one. Not as funny to me. That said, it was an
enjoyable romp, fluffy like a "Three Museketeers" bar!
