Send Me No Flowers [HD]

DAY & HUDSON BLOOM WITH "FLOWERS"
Send Me No Flowers" is the final big screen teaming of Doris Day and Rock Hudson. They would team three more times, professionally - on a Doris Day musical special on CBS in 1971, on "Good Morning America" for a delightful interview in May of 1983 and for Hudson's final appearance before his untimely demise, in 1985 on Day's cable program, "Best Friends".

Anyone expecting a rehash of "Pillow Talk" or "Lover Come Back" may be disappointed in "Send Me No Flowers". Those seeking and able to enjoy an adult comedy that is wry, witty, darkly funny and extremely well acted, should find this to be their cup of tea.

"Send Me No Flowers", based on a successful Broadway play, is the story of the ultimate hypochondriac, George Kimball, played by Hudson, and his loving but long-suffering wife Judy, played by Doris Day. George overhears his doctor discussing another patient who is terminal and leaps to the conclusion that his...

Another great one from Doris and Rock!

I can't imagine not loving a movie with such a perfect trio as Doris Day, Rock Hudson and Tony Randall. I could watch this film again and again and laugh hysterically each time!

George Kimball (Rock Hudson) is a hopeless hypochondriac who, after overhearing his doctor speaking with a specialist about another of his patients, believes he 'could go at any minute'. He convinces his best friend and neighbor Arnold Nash(Tony Randall) of his impending demise causing Arnold to immediately immerse himself in a drunken stupor.

Deciding to keep his coming death from his wife Judy (Doris Day), George and Arnold set out to find a new husband for her.

Enter Burt Powers (Clint Walker).

George is trying to convince Judy that her old school flame is the best thing in the world. When Judy sees George being kissed by a newly divorced woman she immediately jumps to the wrong conclusion. To calm her down George is forced to tell her of his condition.

The fun of this movie...

One of the best of the Day-Hudson comedies!
The inimitable comedy team of Doris Day and Rock Hudson teamed up for the third time with Tony Randall in 1964's "Send Me No Flowers", one of the most enjoyable and hilarious films from the team of Day and Hudson.

Doris and Rock are Judy and George Kimball, a happily married suburban couple. The only nitch in their lives together is that George is a ridiculously hopeless hypochondriac (i.e. taking his temperature in a hot shower). One day, on one of his many weekly trips to his doctor, he overhears the doctor dictating the soon-to-be mortality of another patient... and believes himself to be the unlucky fellow. He enlists a family friend, Arnold Nash (Randall), to help him find a new partner for his dear wife who suspects nothing. Randall not only does this, but even complies to write a eulogy between his massive drinking. Judy begins to suspect George when he encourages her friendship with an old college chum, Bert Power (Clint Walker), and accuses him of having an...
