Send Me No Flowers/It Happened To Jane Doris Day 2006 DVD Top-quality

Doris Day plays his put-upon wife and Tony Randall is the friend and neighbour who takes the news of Hudson’s impending “demise” very badly. It’s sophisticated stuff, the last of the Day/Hudson collaborations, shot through with a mordant wit that may chime better with today’s audience than it did with movie-goers back in the 1960s. Paul Lynde is hysterical as a cemetery plot salesman, and there are telling performances from Edward Andrews and big Clint Walker.
