Love it!.......2007-05-14

What can I say...I absolutely adore Doris Day, and who better to play opposite than Rock Hudson. If you love a good romantic comedy classic you'll love it!

Romantic Comedies that Set the Standard.......2007-04-08

Rock Hudson and Doris Day did it to the hilt with these three romantic comedies. The acting is superb, the scripts are marvelously written, and the dramatic tension/laughs/plots just keep pouring it on.

I think these are three of the best comedies of this type ever done in the following order:

1. Lover Come Back
2. Send Me No Flowers
3. Pillow Talk

Lover Come Back is the Best of the Three.......2007-03-02

I challenge anyone to watch this film without busting a gut laughing. As Rock protests his awkwardness with women, you're thinking about what must be going through his mind. This was lost on me when I was kid, but it was still hilarious. As Webster perpetrates fraud upon fraud on Day's character while posing as Linus Tyler, you can just see the payoff mounting. They'll never make films like this again, not because their time has passed, but because Holyweirders have no talent.

The Best Ever.......2007-01-21

I am a fan of Doris Day. My soul smiles when I'm watching one of her movies. This is probably the greatest collection of her movies. Doris & Rock are great together and Tony Randall is absolutly hilarious in all three movies. Doris is an awesome actress. She reminds me of sunshine and flowers. I have a large collection of her movies and when I just want to feel 'happy' I'll watch them. My favorite comedies are "Pillow Talk", "Lover Come Back", "The Thrill of it All" & "Move Over Darling" (which is FINALLY being released on DVD this month). My favorite drama is "Love Me or Leave Me" and suspense " Midnight Lace", musical "My Dream is Yours" . I think every famous male actor of that time wanted his name shared with hers on movie billboards. There's something to be said about an actress and actor who consumes your being when watching them perform. If they can make you laugh or bring a tear to your eye then they have what it takes to be classified as an actor. Betty Davis said "there is a difference between an actress and a movie star" - by Davis' definition, Doris is an actress! She is fantastic in every genre of film and is also a gifted singer. What a voice! Again, when I feel I need a lift I'll put on her CD's. As for fashion statements...she ranks with Audrey Hepburn in this category. She brings class and elegance to the fashion industry. She epitomizes class and pizazz. She is a fantastic actress who lives in my heart. You can't go wrong with any Doris Day movie.

Doris and Rock .......2007-01-18

I bought this for my wife and she loves it! These movies are classics. The bonus CD with eight Doris Day songs was a nice touch.

Reduced version ..........2007-06-26

I could be wrong here, but I think you are comparing apples and oranges ... in the romance version, there is a music cd added, along with the beefed up packaging and gift box - thus the extra cost. Let's do some additional research here to make sure there aren't two different products and not a repeat of the same item. I think this new release is just the 3 movies - no music cd included.

What? They've already released these..........2007-06-04

These exact three movies have already been released as a collection titled the Doris Day/Rock Hudson Romance Collection. The packaging for the earlier collection is much nicer, so this is in every way a step down. I give the movies 4 stars because they're great. I give this release 0 stars because it's so lame they're releasing the exact same movies as a collection with a different name and a picture on the cover that's not their best. Average it together and you get the 2 stars.

Third release? What?.......2007-05-07

There are many Doris Day and Rock Hudson fans out there. Universal studio knows this, too. They have been profitting off these three movies as long as they can. With "Pillow Talk" having been released three times already on DVD and the other two movies ("Send Me No Flowers" and "Lover Come Back") being relased twice, it seems as though they weren't enough and need to be out on DVD again. Or so, the studio appears to think so.

What bothers me the most about this release is there's no listing of the special features this will and may entell. For that, one cannot decide whether or not their money is worth the exchange. However, it does appear that Universal is trying to appeal more economical with this release and give the consumer a 2-disc economical packaging. For that reason, based on it's lowest cost thus far, it may be a well planned out endeavor by the studio to release these movies once more. However, it almost becomes a slap-in-the-face to the long-time fans of these comedies whom have already bought the more expensive sets over the last few years.

Rock Hudson and Doris Day had one of the sweetest chemistries in the movies--as demonstrated in several light comedies, including this film's predecessor, 1959's Pillow Talk. The two similar films feature a handsome, duplicitous Hudson duping--then falling for--an earnest Day. In Lover Come Back, the two play Jerry Webster and Carol Templeton, rival advertising agents, vying for the same clients--until Jerry makes up a product, Vip, to get out of a scrape. As Madison Avenue catches Vip fever, Jerry falls deeper into the façade-and into love with Carol, who schemes to steal the nonexistent account away from him. Tony Randall plays Peter Ramsay, Webster's hapless boss. While Day and Hudson are as adorable as ever (and would continue to be in 1964's Send Me No Flowers), a standout is fellow Pillow Talk and Send Me No Flowers costar Randall. He's an effective foil--both comically and physically (as he stands next to the much taller Hudson). Their brands of humor blend charmingly: Hudson's sardonic coyness, Day's innocent sweetness, and Randall's nervous edginess. Look for a pre-Brady Bunch Ann B. Davis as Mille, Carol's loyal assistant, and a pre-Beverly Hillbillies Donna Douglas as Ramsay's secretary. --N.F. Mendoza

Description

Rock Hudson and Doris Day are together again! Jerry Webster (Hudson) and Carol Templeton (Day) are rival Madison Avenue advertising executives who each dislike each other's methods. After he steals a client out from under her cute little nose, revenge prompts her to infiltrate his secret "VIP" campaign in order to persuade the mystery product's scientist to switch to her firm. Trouble is, the product is phony and the "scientist" is Jerry, who uses all his intelligence and charm to steal her heart in this outrageous comedy of mistaken identity, co-starring the ever-delightful Tony Randall.

Customer Reviews:

Lover Come Back.......2007-06-28

Delbert Mann's follow-up to Hudson-Day's first hit "Pillow Talk" is less well-known, but every bit as good. Rock in particular shines in two separate characterizations, and Randall's elevator scene must be seen to be believed. Fast and sharp, with a vibrant early sixties look and feel, "Lover" will keep you coming back. Hooray for Vip!

"He's the last guy I would have figured...".......2007-05-20

Doris Day-Rock Hudson romcom Lover Come Back reworks aspects of Pillow Talk in a plot that sees them as rival advertising execs fighting over the account for a non-existent product in a surprisingly and engagingly smutty satire that goes out of its way to mock the void between the two stars screen images and reality. Rock Hudson seems heroically determined to invite rumors by pretending to be unsure of his sexuality ("Just because you can light a stove doesn't mean you can cook") and even creeping back into his apartment wearing nothing more than a woman's fur coat ("He's the last guy I would have figured..." notes one onlooker) while a somewhat sidelined Doris Day gets married as she's rushed into the delivery room. Along the way Tony Randall practically invents both of the Crane brothers and sets up about three seasons worth of plots for Frasier as his neurotic boss. Great fun.

A lovely Day film.......2007-01-22

At times this movie can be a little racie for people over the age of 70 or people who like movies less rated than G. But for the rest of us it's more tamed then most movies now. It's a good Doris Day film. It's funny, and has a happy ending. The story line is pretty much the same as pillow talk. Mistaken identity, Hudson's character taken advantage of the sistuation, boy meets girl, girl hates boy, girl loves boy, then hates him again, then loves each other in the end. A wonderful game, this is worth the cash.

Treasure From The 60's Vault...........2006-10-20

Is there anything more American then apple pie, baseball or a good Rock Hudson/Doris Day Film? It's always been such a treat to curl up with them and the third essential player, Tony Randall. Rock is always doing something to infuriate Doris. He's her worst nightmare. And what's more, he pretends to be someone else that Doris falls for head over heals until the gig is up. Then she's out for revenge, but love always wins out. Ahhhh such feel good, laugh out loud stuff.

So in this one from 1961 "Lover Come Back", Madison Ave is the setting. Advertising is the game of Carol Templeton and rival Jerry Webster. But Jerry is such a cad and a playboy. He steals big clients right from under her by wining and dining them, throwing raucous parties and getting the girl for them. Carol on the other hand, does things a little different. She's virtuous and business like. When he trumps her cards once too often, she plans to get a little underhanded herself. Trying to win over the scientist that is going to invent a new product for our guy Rock, Doris, who has never met Webster(as is always the case), mistakes him for...you guessed it..the shy, retiring, needy nerdy scientist. Jerry, in true form goes along with it, and tries to woo Carol into his bed. And the fun continues...

Doris is marvelous. Watch her face. So many different emotions she goes through. From being Exasperated, to being in love, she does it all. She's simply a joy. Rock matches her perfectly with his pretenses, and has a way with the dialogue that just says Rock! As mentioned Tony Randall is always the third part to the equation that makes these films such classic fun. Here he is the President of the ad firm and Jerry's boss, but hasn't a clue as to what's going on. He does this quite well.Meanwhile, the fun doesn't end with Doris and Rock. The race to make a new product, VIP! is causing quite a few explosions and when the product is finally ready for testing...well you just have to see for yourself!

The rest of the cast is quite a roll call. Ann B Davis, Delbert Mann, Donna Douglas(the beautiful Ellie Mae Clampett), Edie Adams, Jack Albertson, Jack Oakie, Joe Flynn, Richard Deacon,wow... the list goes on.
The transfer to DVD looks great. Picture clear, colors good.The film is presented in Anamorphic widescreen 1.85:1 The sound is in Dol Dig 2.0(MONO), but this isn't an action flick, so it's fine.There are caption in English(a nod to Universal there), subtitles in Spanish and French. There are no features of any kind other than scene selections.

This film is a treasure from the 60's vault. Doris' outfits alone are smashing, and NYC in the 60's too. This film has no rating on the case, but I would say PG. There are some adult situations, but all done in tasteful fun(can you imagine Doris Day, doing anything else, even if she tried?).The other two films that this trio delight us with is "Pillow Talk" and "Send Me No Flowers"

Well, I'm off to watch another Day/Hudson/Randall film. I've got my bowl of VIP and ready for a fun evening.....Laurie

Enjoyable.......2006-08-19

This film is good, but not as good as Pillow Talk. It has its moments, though, and is worth watching more than once.
