    Editorial Reviews

    Although not as well known as Pillow Talk (1959), this romantic-comedy pairing of stars Rock Hudson and Doris Day earned an Oscar nomination for Best Screenplay. Hudson stars as Jerry Webster, a Madison Avenue advertising executive who has achieved success not through hard work or intelligence but by wining and dining his big-shot clients, even setting them up on dates with attractive girls. Jerry's equal at a rival agency is Carol Templeton (Day). Although she has never met him, Carol is disgusted by Jerry's unethical antics and reports him to the Ad Council. Jerry avoids trouble with his usual aplomb, sending a comely chorus girl, Rebel Davis (Edie Adams), to seduce the council members. When Jerry subsequently makes Rebel the star of television commercials for a nonexistent product called VIP, the spots are accidentally aired by perplexed company president Pete Ramsey (Tony Randall). Carol becomes determined to win the VIP account away from Jerry, but after she discovers the truth, she again reports him to the Ad Council. Jerry skirts out of trouble a second time by producing VIP, an intoxicating candy quickly whipped up by company research scientist Linus Tyler (Jack Kruschen). VIP's extreme effects lead to a one-night stand between bitter rivals Jerry and Carol, with unexpected consequences. Karl Williams, All Movie Guide

    July 20, 2006: Lover Come Back is my second favorite movie that Doris Day and Rock Hudson made together, Pillow Talk is my #1 favorite but I also really liked Lover Come Back and found it charming and witty and they were both great and so was Tony Randall.

    April 18, 2003: As a classic movie buff, I stumbled across this gem on TCM one night and was absolutely hooked. Although Pillow Talk is the more celebrated and most well known of the Doris Day/Rock Hudson collaberations, Lover Come Back is my favorite. Doris Day plays the kind of wholesome role that made her famous, this time in the character of a Madison Ave. advertising executive. And of course her archrival happens to be the womanizing lush Rock Hudson. The laughs just don't stop as Hudson leads and unknowing and unsuspecting Day to fall in love with him, all the while, manipulating the advertising situation from the inside. But what he didn't count on is falling in love with the virtuous beauty. A stellar supporting cast and surprise ending make this one of those pieces of Hollywood ''fluff'' perfect for a long weekend or just an evening when you don't want to think too hard.
