I've always loved this film and B Crowther's rave review. Had LCB preceded Pillow Talk, it might have garnered Best Picture, Best Actress and Best Supporting Actor nominations for the film, Doris and Tony Randall. The satire of 1961 Madison Avenue still has bite today - we are bombarded with sales attempts from Robo-calls, Google ad pop-ups, and Infomercials on television. LCB was a brilliant comedy and it never gets old to me.Johnny wrote: ↑10 Oct 2015, 14:42
Bosley Crowther wrote in the New York Times about Lover Come Back:
"Pillow Talk was but a warm-up for this springy and spirited surprise which is one of the brightest, most delightful, satiric comedies since It Happened One Night
The script has some of the sharpest and funniest situations you could wish and some of the fastest, wittiest dialogue that was spewed out of a comedy."
It holds up well as a very funny and witty film today and is one of Doris' best.
Judy, Howard Green can probably confirm this but I believe it was the beach scene when they had to kiss each other. They both broke up and could not stop laughing. This part may be urban legend, but I think Rock had a wardrobe malfunction with his swimming trunks when he flipped her over, which made everyone hysterical. If you recall, David Hartman interviewed Doris and Rock on GMA in 1983 when they both talked about making each other laugh and Doris said she used to think about horrible things to keep from laughing, I suspect they were referring to this scene during that conversation.Musiclover wrote: ↑13 Feb 2019, 00:53Just read a short account by one of Rock Hudson's friends, Tom Clark, in which he wrote that Doris was "no slouch at making Rock break up." He recalled a scene they were shooting in "Lover, Come Back." "It was a simple shot, theoretically, but with the two of them totally out of control, it took hours. Director [Delbert] Mann, normally the most even-tempered gentleman in the world, got madder and madder . . . and, of course, the madder he got, the funnier they thought it was." There was so many funny scenes in that film; I wonder which one that was.
