The first two titles are the best. "Lover Came Back" is one of the best comedies ever made. "Pillow Talk" was also clever, but not as sidesplittingly funny as "Lover Come Back." "Send Me No Flowers" was pretty weak.

What i liked was the story lines in all the movies and the way the actors and actresses made their characters they were playing believable. what i loved was the funny scenes, like rock hudson trying to get doris remarried and thinking he was sick and how he got stuck outside the house in the wheel chair and how in other movie he couldn't fit in the tiny car and how he had doris decorate his apartment and how to his shock what it looked like and he went and got her out of her bed and carried her to his apartment. how thelma ritter acted as house keeper and had to hang on to stand up in the elavtor and how she listened in on the phone. i really can't think of anything i didn't like about the movie because it wasn't intended for people to approve of drinking or smoking, it was intended to be watched and laughed at and its a much better collection of films than than any comedy now days. why did i purchase the set?because i wanted to watch something worth watching, not cope with alot of comedy written now that really isn't not enjoyable. Rock hudson is gone and can't make anymore good films and Doris day isn't able to make any more films.Enjoy what they made is why i purchased the collection.Tony Randalls face changing color in the movie with the made up vip product. ann b. davis the secretary, she is always wonderful. too many wonderful scenes and moments to write down, it was all wonderful and funny and nothing else like it now days. can't beat these classics, the movies now alot of them aren't worth the price to rent or the price to go see them at the movie house. one movie this year was worth having in my home, the rest need a bar of soap and wash cloth.Read full review

These three movies starring Doris Day and Rock Hudson are classic farces of a kind no longer made. Pillow Talk and Lover Come Back involve mistaken identities and the battle of the sexes. He wants sex, she wants marriage, in the end they both get what they what (she wins). Funny situations, funny dialogue, clean humor, with a little "naughtiness" or risque element, a snapshot of America trembling on the brink of sexual liberation where there would be no more wink, wink, or nudge nudge because it was all out there. He tries to trick here into bed, the trick being necessary because she is a "nice" girl. Whether that was better or worse than our current situation, I can't say (yes, I know he was gay). I can say the movies are very funny. The two had fantastic chemistry. What a handsome man he was (yes, I know he was gay). In Send me no flowers, they are a married couple with a hypochondriac Rock Hudson who imagines he is dying. He is so tall and strapping you wouldn't think it would work, but it does. The contrast between his glowing physicality and his fears and tremors make it all the more funny. Tony Randall is also present in all three. In the first two, he plays the neurotic bachelor who frequently refers to his therapist and of course loses Doris Day to the more masculine man (yes, I know Rock was gay). In the last one, he is the grieving best friend. Randall was the perfect chronicler of late fifties early sixties urban angst and also very funny. The only downside is that they only made three movies. Doris Day is great too.Read full review
