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.
