The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

I've been reading the other reviews with interest. I saw this film on TV about 45 years ago when I was about 8 years old. Around this time I used to watch two back-to-back films on a Saturday or Sunday and I remember this film because it was absolutely hilarious. All the other good films have been repeated on TV - but I have only ever seen this once. I remember laughing and laughing when watching the film. I didn't know anything about sex at that age. I just saw it as a father trying to get his daughter to 'lighten up', to 'live', and to have an interest in finding a male companion in life, instead of an existence of continual work. I didn't see anything odd about Rock Hudson's character pretending to be a patient with his 'problem'. This subterfuge was a key part of romantic comedy films of the time. I certainly didn't see the 'set-up' scene as anything to do with sex - I just remember it as a slightly naughty prank. In some ways the film does remind me of 'pillow talk' and this isn't surprising as one of the writers is the same. I am very pleased to hear that it is now on DVD and I will be very interested to see it again.

How could a cast with Rock Hudson, Leslie Caron, Charles Boyer and others produce such a stinker of a film?Some of this reminded me of the old Doris Day and Rock Hudson films. Hudson was always at his best when he tried to fool Day into thinking that he was someone else.We see some of that hear but the dialogue and writing produced a rather poor film.Caron looks much older than the 30 year old she is supposed to portray. A psychologist with an extremely even life, Caron is made to go wild when her father, played with humor comedy by Boyer, introduces her to Hudson-who is his usual Casanova type guy.The ending must have had the audience in stitches when Hudson tried to get Caron thinking that he was dating another guy.

I don't need 1,000 words to say Thanks Universal for the DVD Rock Hudson's collection. I enjoyed the 5 now new films of Rock Hudson which always I waited. Now, I wait for the rest. I liked those films, first because I love comedies' Rock Hudson.He is handsome, nice,and funny I can't speck only of "A Very Special Favor" because all 5 films are very good. In "A very Special Favor' Leslie Caron and Charles Boyer are excellent in their role, same for the rest of the cast.In this film I laughed all the time.I give for this film 10 out of 10. Rock Hudson is special for this. I don't forget "Send me no Flowers" with Doris Day.I have a collection of videos and DVD of Rock H. and I wait for the rest.I hope I will see soon. Again, thanks Universal!

Rock Hudson is at his best when it comes to romantic comedy. Their is excellent chemistry with the cast of this film. This movie should be on everyone's agenda to see if ever it becomes available. There are a lot of enjoyable laughs and you come away from it feeling good. It will definitely lift your spirits.
