Send Me No Flowers

Light and laugh-filled, Send Me No Flowers is typical {|Rock Hudson|} and Doris Day fare. George (Hudson) is a hypochondriac married to Judy (Day) in this marital comedy. When George goes to visit the doctor, he overhears two doctors talking about a diagnosis of a terminally ill patient. George believes they are talking about him and that he is doomed to die. He recruits his friend Arnold ({|Tony Randall|}) to find a new husband for Judy. Judy thinks George is covering up for an illicit affair and throws him out of the house. George locates Judy's old college flame Bert ({|Clint Walker|}), now a Texas oil millionaire. Excellent performances by {|Edward Andrews|} as Dr. Morrissey and {|Paul Lynde|} as the aggressive cemetery-plot salesman help this feature along. Although not as solid as the Day/Hudson pairing in {|Pillow Talk|} or {|Lover Come Back|}, Send Me No Flowers is still a good romantic comedy.
