TCM was airing it and I didn't wanna watch Fox News. A review of Lover Come Back (1961) dir. Delbert Mann.
Doris Day is really good at acting. But Rock Hudson's character is so off the wall. "My cousin is an astronaut and my brother is a doctor and my uncle is a scientist and my father is a philosopher and my grandfather is a philanthropist" and Doris looks very gullible. Ain't no way.
This movie is really funny. I laughed whenever something exploded. Chimp brain comedy. But there is also a greater irony in the mistaken identity plot. I laughed so hard every time the CEO tried to kill Hadley. Hadley did nothing the whole movie except get blamed for everything.
It was surprisingly risque. Nothing is shown, but there is implied nudity 2 or 3 times and they go to a burlesque house. This was made in the days of the Hays code?
The moose is the best character. 6/10
