Rent Send Me No Flowers (1964)

Funniest Doris Day film! - Send Me No Flowers review by BM

I loved Doris Day when I was younger, but her films seem very dated now. However I've always remembered this one being funny and I wasn't disappointed...several laugh out loud moments and the supporting characters excellent I.e. Tony Randall and the funeral director and doctor.

Brilliant - Send Me No Flowers review by TJ

Classic Film. Very funny love Rocky Hudson and Doris Day. Always makes me laugh, especially when she drops the eggs and makes a mess of her fluffy slippers.

Pleasant Valley Sunday - Send Me No Flowers review by Steve

The last- and least regarded- of the Day-Hudson comedies is also a change in direction. Pillow Talk (1959 ) and Lover Come Back (1961) are metropolitan romances which end in true love. This is a conservative, suburban sitcom about a happy marriage under the pressure of farcical complications.

Doris Day and Rock Hudson are a middle class, middle aged married couple. He drives a gas-guzzler and commutes to work (with Tony Randall). She runs the home, goes shopping and plays golf. They visit the country club together. What used to swing has settled into midlife contentment; they are squares.

Doris' wardrobe is frumpy. Rock is still buff, but receding. He is a hypochondriac who thinks he has weeks to live while she imagines this is a cover for an affair! Now, it's a time capsule and any enjoyment depends on tolerance of its gender politics: she's the dumb housewife and her husband makes the decisions.

So consequently he attempts to find her a new husband for after he dies. It's amusing, but not hilarious. The title sequence has Day singing a Bacharach and David beat number over some animation, which is cool. And most of what's worthwhile about this fun but unremarkable farce is the retro-60s vibe.
