Helena P. @Cagney Oct 5 This movie makes me laugh out loud. I watch it every time it pops up on TCM. See more Farah R @Farah Apr 12 My favorite Doris Day and Rock Hudson film, Send Me No Flowers is funny, heartfelt, and immensely enjoyable. Although the ending felt a bit rushed, I loved every minute of this timeless romantic comedy. See more Steve D 07/22/2023 Ok only because of the cast. See more Nizar N 04/22/2023 Yet one more classic from Doris Day, Rock Hudson, and Tony Randall. It's creative, fun, witty, and the plot twists are unpredictable for the most part but at the same time not convoluted. Send Me No Flowers intelligently makes use of every moment and situation when it comes to comedy. There really should have been more movies from these 3 actors. See more Ryan B 11/07/2022 Funny, enjoyable, witty. A great movie to relax and enjoy. Nothing too heavy, just fun. See more 08/01/2021 Rock Hudson and Doris Day are one of my favorite comedy pairings. This was their third and last movie together and it left me wishing they'd made many more. Apparently they were always looking for the next script but never found one they thought was funny enough. Rock Hudson takes center stage on this one and is a delight to watch. It's hard to believe this film is nearly 60 years old, the humor still feels so fresh. It's that comforting, friendly type of humor that helps you relax after a stressful day. Tony Randall doesn't get enough credit for his roles in all three Doris Day/Rock Hudson comedies. He's as funny as ever in this one as the best friend. Paul Lynde and Hal March are also very entertaining as a funeral director and a sleazy country club ladies man respectively. It rattles along at a nice snappy pace leading to a satisfying ending that left me feeling good for the rest of the evening. See more Read all reviews
