Love the flirty banter between Rock and Doris. She's even cute as button when she is on "fire". Tony Randall always delivers a solid comedic supporting role. I brought these movies with me on a long family stay. My 12-year-old nephew even found them humorous. So perhaps these movies are timeless!

I love Pillow Talk and Lover Come Back both actors Day and Hudson are at their comedic best! And I must include Tony Randall he is the the third man that makes a great comedy team. I did not enjoy Send Me No Flowers as much as the other two movies but it still was a pleasant diversion.
The Doris Day and Rock Hudson Comedy Collection 2008-08-03
We enjoyed the three movies.
Great to see Doris Day and Rock Hudson.
Loved these movies when they came out and great to see them again.
Incomparable comedies of their time, now sadly neglected 2008-06-24
(Of course, not everyone has neglected these movies. So if you're already familiar with PILLOW TALK and LOVER COME BACK, feel free to skip this paragraph.) In 1959 Ross Hunter's production of PILLOW TALK hit the screens, and in what TIME magazine called "the World Series of sex" paired Doris Day and Rock Hudson in a romantic farce in a sophisticated milieu (NYC interior decorating), based on a confusion-of-identity perpetuated by Rock's character. Miss Day was just entering the period where she was America's top movie actress, and once their respective schedules finally clicked, the duo was re-united for LOVER COME BACK in 1962. It too is set in a sophisticated milieu (NYC advertising) and the plot depends on confusion-of-identity, yada yada. But the fans loved it. I do too, because IMHO it's just as irresistible as PILLOW TALK.
Fewer people are familiar with SEND ME NO FLOWERS (1964), the third and final installment of the Day/Hudson coupling. As in the first two flicks, Tony Randall appears as the best friend, but otherwise this is a very different scenario. Set in sunny Southern California, Hudson's character is cast against type as a neurotic hypochonrdiac who mistakenly believes his death is imminent, whereupon he starts trying to fix up his wife (Day) with a suitably studly companion for after he's gone.
Enter Clint Walker, six foot seven inches of American masculinity, a financial success who drives what's probably the most uncircumsized automobile ever to come out of Great Britain: the original Jaguar XKE. There's a world of comically sexual subtext going during the first time Doris and Rock break bread with Clint: "You mean your company makes those little bitty transistors?" -- nothing to stir the censorship code still in effect but fun to decode nonetheless.
Later in the Sixties, Doris Day's then-husband Marty Melcher put her in a steadily declining series of comedy vehicles, and by the late 1960s Doris Day was no longer at the top of her profession. But SEND ME NO FLOWERS excels, even if it isn't quite in the PILLOW TALK/LOVER COME BACK stratosphere. In my opinion, getting all three movies together is the canny and cheap thing to do!

Pillow Talk
"You're my inspiration..."
Jan Morrow (Doris Day) is an interior decorator that relies on her telephone for business. Brad Allen (Rock Hudson) is a songwriter who relies on his telephone for monkey business. Turns out that they both share the same party line. Yep you saw it coming. Unknown to either of them, the Broadway producer that Brad is writing for, Jonathan Forbes (Tony Randall), is as close to love with Doris day as he was with his previous wives. Putting two and two together, rock Hudson realizes that his party line antagonist is a blonde cutie.
Knowing that he does not have a chance with her if he reveals his true identity, he takes on Texas persona (Rex Stetson.) Will this work? Will Tony Randall find out? Better still will Doris day find out the truth? Will decorating sense prevail? This could get ugly.
Look for the split screen scenes while they are talking on the phone. And Doris gets a chance to sing.

Lover Come Back
Just a touch maaam
This is an explosive tale. Rock and Doris are rival advertising execs with different approaches to doing business. Carol Templeton (Doris) thinks Jerry Webster (Rock) is unethical in his business practices and while trying to catch him at it is also trying to steel his next account. Jerry on the other hand is just trying to catch Carol and parries her attack with the VIP girl. While he is occupied with the chase, Peter 'Pete' Ramsey proceeds to sell VIP. Things just heat up from there.
My favorite part is where Tony Randall uses a moose call and gets what he wants.

Send Me No Flowers
A good Day film
This film can also be found as part of the Doris day collection. Not the best one in the collection but still a great comedy with Doris Day Tony Randall and Rock Hudson. The husband (Rock Hudson) over hears the doctors conversation and knows he is dying. He is a hypochondriac. Little did he know he overheard the wrong conversation. Now he has to find his wife (Doris Day) another husband.
Man's Favorite Sport? ~ Rock Hudson
Great comic music! 2008-05-09
From PILLOW TALK: Brad Allen (Rock Hudson) sings to his clueless and entirely-too-willing date "You are my inspiration...(memory lapse followed by relief as he remembers her name)..., Marie."
The script is brilliant. Great direction. Perfect pacing. Very witty split-screen work. All the acting is inspired, too - lead and supporting both.
But what I really want to say is that the music in that film and the other two in this collection is just fabulous - and I mean beyond the songs. Maybe the best comedy scoring I've ever heard outside of the outrageously exaggerated stuff that Carl Stalling did for the WB cartoons from the 1930s through the late 50s. Frank DeVol does a running musical commentary on the lunatic activity on the screen and, without fail, heightens the comedic effect. I don't know anyone better at this. The legendary film composers are not legendary because of their work in comedies. Jerry Goldsmith did some memorable comedy scores. One of his best was THE TROUBLE WITH ANGELS (1966) and I see on IMDB that DeVol assisted with that one. How fitting! John Williams has done a few - I think first of HOME ALONE. Andre Previn (GIGI, IRMA LA DOUCE, MY FAIR LADY) was very good . Mancini was known for comedies but not really for comedic writing. I think Devol might be the best ever and he not only did all three films in this collection, but also THE THRILL OF IT ALL and THE GLASS-BOTTOM BOAT, too. There's a real Doris Day connection here.
All three films are presented widescreen (rather than in that disgraceful pan-and-scan butchering). A real value!
Day & Hudson Comedy Collection 2008-04-24
Very Very Very nice & respectable movies , thanks to every one from all of the stuf makes this dream
Another Doris Day Classic fun 2008-04-01
Just always a joy to see her take on her silly fun characters and interact with her handsome leading men for a fun romp. Just a dreamy pair having fun and getting on each other as all couples do and these films were from a simpler time in life. They were just perfect together I wish they were both still young and in Rock's case still alive and well. Fortunately we have these films to remember them in character and allot of her music as well.
