Send Me No Flowers | Year: 1964 Classification: Comedy Directed: - Norman Jewison Actors/Actresses: - Rock Hudson - Doris Day Harmless Fluff Rock Hudson stars as a hypochondriac who misinterprets a conversation his doctor is having about a dying man and believes he is the man that is on his way out. He confides his situation to neighbour and pal Tony Randall so they can find someone for his wife, Doris Day. Of course, there are a lot of crazy mix-ups that you would expect with this kind of film. I honestly can't say I laughed very much. I've never found any of the star trio to be particularly appealing, so there probably wasn't much of a chance of me really enjoying this at all. Paul Lynde plays a cemetery plot salesman and is really funny. The movie is a pleasant time filler, but there's not much here that's fresh or even interesting, and I suspect audiences today will think they've seen it all before. Pretty Funny The movie is very funny, with Rock Hudson playing a hypochondriac named George. He is at a doctors appointment, when he overhears the doctor discussing a dying patient on the telephone. Immediately, he assumes he is the dying one. He then starts searching for a new husband for his wife with the help of his friend Arnold. The only problem is that Arnold must say the name George at least 10,000 times. It can get exsaperating. Overall, it is a very funny movie, but kind of gets of out hand at the end. Doesn't Have The Flaws of the New Pillow Talk DVD! 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.
