Send Me No Flowers

Actors:  Doris Day, Rock Hudson, Tony Randall, Clint Walker, Paul Lynde
Rating:  5 out of 10, Back to Doris last night with a movie that came as an add on to one of the others I wanted to see.  This was not a good movie.  Day was good as always as the bright, perky housewife this time.  The problem was casting Hudson as a hyper-hypochondriac.  He was just not believable and neither was the notion that Day would put up with the incredible nonsense from her husband.  This is not how you expect from Hudson and he was not a good enough actor to pull this off.  Clint Walker, one of my favorite Dirty Dozen guys, tries to play a romantic rival but he’s even worse than Hudson.  He was nothing but big and should have stuck to action roles.  This is a totally forgettable movie with a contrived plot and most of the actors just going through the motions, definitely a pass.
MVP:  Day as Judy the long suffering wife of the idiotic Hudson
