My Review

“Lover Come Back” is vintage Doris Day-Rock Hudson romantic comedy material, the second of three pictures they made together. (The others are “Pillow Talk” of 1959 and “Send Me No Flowers” of 1964.) Screenwriters Stanley Shapiro and Paul Henning did such a good job they were nominated for an Academy Award for Best Screenplay.

Director Delbert Mann (“Marty” 1955) and producer Martin Melcher (Day’s husband) put together some solid family entertainment in this Universal Pictures film, a hit at the box office. They hired an outstanding supporting cast that includes Tony Randall, Edie Adams, Jack Kruschen, Ann B. Davis, Joe Flynn, Jack Albertson, Donna Douglas, Richard Deacon, and Jack Oakie in his final movie appearance in a career that started in 1923 at Paramount Pictures.
