Sparks fly when up-and-coming executive Carter Harrison (Rock Hudson) meets free-spirited artist Toni Vincente (Gina Lollobrigida). They quickly marry, only to discover their differences are too great to overcome. Five years later, a now-separated Carter learns his reputation as a swinging bachelor may hurt his chances at securing a big promotion. Carter's friend Richard Bramwell (Gig Young) encourages him to reconcile with Toni, but her independent streak may jeopardize their love yet again.

Still, there's enough to entertain especially an extended bed scene between Hudson and Edward Judd, a Lollobrigida suiter. It's hilarious watching Hudson and Judd creating quite a bit of their own homoerotic chemistry lying in bed next to one another.

Strange Bedfellows is not as good as Come September but worth watching to see Lollobrigida and Hudson together again

I thought it was impossible to dislike a Rock Hudson movie, but alas, here's one that's best to be forgotten. It's incredibly slow paced and Lollobrigida is no substitute for Doris Day.

Typical bedroom comedy from the 60s, but great fun! Rock Hudson and Gina Lollobrigida had fiery chemistry.

I really enjoyed this film. Granted I am a classics buff & well Gay or not, Rock Hudson is HOT. The chemistry between these two is great & I loved all the passionate fighting. It was a fun movie. If you like classic romantic comedies of the 60's you will love this film.

Two "very straight" old timers have to learn how to pass as a loving gay couple after falsing chalming same sex status to take advantage of an newly legislated tax law. This reminds me of a 2007 movie "I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry" along the same lines>
