Doris Day and Rock Hudson movies

Rock plays George Kimball, who is always worried about his health, when one day he over-hears the doc say “oh it’s the ticker, how long has he got? Well, there’s not much you can do when the old ticker goes” George thinks it’s about him, and goes off sad, depressed, and looking for a new husband for his wife, Judy played by Doris Day.George Kimball finds the perfect match with Clint Walker who plays Bert, the oil man and previous beau of Judy. Bert happens to be on scene when Judy needs to be gallantly rescued from a run-away golf cart. Big ‘ol Bert scoops her up in his arms like a knight, and discovers, it’s “Judy”. At the club house he fondly calls her “passion girl” when he explains why he never married after she threw him overboard.One funny scene is when Rock and Randall are talking about the “new guy” who will take the place as husband. They both agree that Judy would only be marrying for companionship and no sex would be involved. Yea. Nice thought.

Doris Day movies usually have a song or two written for her, and often the title of the movie reflects the name of the song. This is true for “Send Me No Flowers”, composed by Burt Bacharach (lyrics by Hal David.) This is another film produced by her husband, Martin Melcher.
