Memorable, crazy movie

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Rock Hudson and Doris Day star in this classic comedy film. Doris Day is lovable and nice as ever in her starring role, and Rock is great here too. Rock Hudson is great as the typical 50s style husband, he's even better when consider the fact that he was gay in real life. I'm a big fan of Mr. Hudson because he is just so lovable and I have always been so sympathetic towards him, because of him having to hide his true sexual orientation because of old school prejudice and discrimination. But anyways, back to the film, the movie is obviously well acted, and it's well written, the dialogue is funny and the dialogue and chemistry between Day and Hudson is electric! I suggest send me no flowers to people who love a good funny classic film. It's just a very enjoyable cute movie about a married couple who go through obstacle after obstacle, from Hudson thinking he is dying from a terminal disease, and Doris Day thinking he's cheating on her. Go and enjoy this cute comedy classic. 8/10 for Send me no flowers.

The successful teaming of Day and Hudson (along with perennial third point of the triad Randall) in "Pillow Talk" and "Lover Come Back" led to this third and final film together. Based on a Broadway comedy, Hudson plays a hypochondriac, obsessed with pills and healthy food, who mistakenly comes to believe that he is dying. His perky wife Day seems unable to fend for herself and so he sets out to locate the right man to take his place after he's gone. She misinterprets his sudden change in demeanor as infidelity, leading to numerous complications. The expected arguments and slapstick humor boil along until the predictable finale. By now Day and Hudson have established a palpable chemistry with one another and, following two films as chaste, squabbling date-mates, they make the logical progression to portraying a married couple. Day's affection for Hudson is apparent and she's less uptight here than in previous outings. This couple clearly has had a fulfilling sex life! She kicks off the film with a hilarious bit of slapstick involving getting locked out of the house in her nightgown, proving that physical comedy was another one of her many talents. Despite playing a suburban housewife, she is permitted (by Jean Louis) to look terrific during most of the film. She also sings the bouncy (if rather tinnily-recorded) title song. Hudson, looking very fit and handsome (which makes his hypochondria all the more preposterous), is equally at ease and has fun with his vulnerable character, a departure from the far more studly and secure men he played in the first two pairings with Day. These changes in the format seem to disgruntle some viewers, but to others it's a neat change of pace and a break from the same old type of plot line. Randall enjoys a top supporting role as Hudson's neighbor and friend, who takes Hudson's "fatal" illness worse than anyone and immediately starts drinking. Tipsy for most of the rest of the film, this revelation of terminal illness seems to have brought out a not-so-subtle bout of homo-erotica in him. He can't seem to get through any scene without pawing on Hudson and shares a bed with him at one point. One of his lines is even, "Do me?" as he holds out a cummerbund to Hudson. The clear wink-wink, nudge-nudge way in which the two men handle these moments make the film interesting to those who now know of Hudson's private life. Lynde appears briefly, but amusingly, as a gregarious cemetery plot salesman who is thrilled to get a new customer, but disappointed that Hudson's family isn't a little bigger. Walker, one of the few men who could dwarf Hudson, has a fairly thankless role as an old beau of Day's who appears suddenly to complicate things. One of his scenes is filmed almost entirely with the back of his head to the camera and he doesn't get even one close-up! He does, however, get one nice sight gag of him exiting a teensy sports car, which is only a little bit bigger than he is. Andrews plays Hudson's exasperated doctor as only he can, bemoaning the fact that he didn't become a specialist and make more money. Other roles include March as a predatory bachelor and Barry as a new divorcée who falls for March's game. It's a pretty, light, sometimes hysterical film that has a few dry spots (including the protracted ending) and some tacky rear-projection. It's also ahead of its time, featuring Hudson's love affair with medicine as today's TV airwaves are cluttered with endless ads for prescription drugs, encouraging people to find an illness to fit them, no matter the side effects. Though it is distinctly different from the previous pairings, it is nonetheless charming and funny and, in some ways, is superior to them.

How can you not enjoy a treat like this. In the grubby angst-filled world we live in it's a delight to escape for a while into the sugar-coated planet where Doris and Rock have their adventures. This is a cracker and sees both of them, and Tony Randall, on top form. It's a film with a proper plot, plenty of great comedic moments and even a bit of pathos to keep the brain ticking.Paul Lynde's brief part is a cracker, as always, and throughout you know the final result of the plot twists but are never sure of the route you'll be taken on to get to the inevitable happy ending. All just as it should be. As an experiment, watch this after Bad Santa and tell me which is the disgraceful, grubby and shameful world and which is the one we should aspire to.Bottom line....a delight on planet Doris

Oh how i miss those days, where a picture didn't have to blow you out of the cinema, og to provoke your stymie with bloody violence. The Hollywood times, where you could get far with humor, love and a warm story.I grew up with the likes of Doris Day, Tony Randall, Rock HUdson, Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis, Cary Grant, Marilyn Monroe, Marlon Brandon, Grace Kelly and many others fantastic actors. In this period of from 1945 - 1970 some of the best movies where made. We all remember films like Cacablanca, Some like it hot, The odd couple, The African Queen,From here to eternity, Roman holiday, The bridge over the river Kwai, Ben Hur, Spartacus, Doctor Zhivago. And take then the must fantastic musical that also where made before the time of the computer animation took over.Just think about Singing in the rain or my favorite, The sound of music and last The west side story. We domt make them any more. We don't know how to. People have chances and people have learn to demand more. Its just like drugs. The want more and bigger every time. I know that we later on has made bigger and more fantastic to watch for the eye and the ear movies. But where were those movies of our present, if we didn't have all the computer animation. What was Titanic, KIng Kong, Star Wars, The lord of the ring and many others of the big films of today. And how good are the actors of to day, when you take all the fancy computer tecnic away from them. Its just like inside the music world. Just you have a good face and a attitude, we give you the voice. Back in the old days, they had to be good acting, because there wasn't anything to save them. The makeup at the time, was awful, and the special affects wasen't effective. They had to rely on the actors, Screenplayers and the director. And think about how we admire the old gone stars. Look at Marylin, James Dean, Marlon Brandon, Frank Sinatra, Cary Grant, Katharina Hepburn,John Wayne and Steve Mcqueen,and menu others. When we go into a poster shop, there are all there on the wall. They have become legends of a time where it all seemed easier and not so complex-ed as it is today. But back to send me no flower. I get filled up with joy, when i see movies like this. The plot is funny and the actors understand how to make it even better. Doris day is as she always were, charming, sweet and sexy as hell. All the female actors of today, who are me-lasting there buddy to find the perfect sexy look, should learn from Doris. Not a single time, showed she her naked body or even one breast in the nude, but we men still dream about her. Maybe because she still left somethings to imagine. She never sold out. Rock Hudson the perfect man, plays as always with grace and man power. He has the perfect face and it was god who gave him the perfect match on the screen in Doris Day. But they where only that good, because they had the perfect third wheel in Tony Randall. I have never seen a man play so perfectly a drunk, as he dos in this movie. Those 3 together is still the best date for me on a rainy day.I hope you all will go back to the old days to pick of some of those old movies and give them a chance. They might give you the time of your life, and then you might better understand why your parents or there parents always talk about that time in film history.All the best to you From Denmark.
