Lover Come Back is a 1961 romantic comedy released by Universal Pictures. The film stars Doris Day and Rock Hudson in their second film together. The supporting cast includes Tony Randall, Edie Adams, Ann B. Davis, and Donna Douglas.
This movie directed by Delbert Mann gives us the best of one of the most prolific comic trio in the American cinema: Day / Hudson / Randall. The story concerns the professional life in a marketing company located in New York. The movie literally laughs at three types of ambition and means to serve this ambition: the guy without any scruples who is never reluctant to lie and to use sex to get contracts and to step up (Hudson); on the opposite side the female executive who steps up only thanks to acharned work and respect of the rules (Day) and finally the so called boss, who inherits this position from his father and who clearly lacks charisma and credibility as a manager (Randall). This opposition between the three main characters works quite well, mainly thanks to very good play and very subtle dialogs. These rich dialogs were written by Stanley Shapiro (who was already involved in the screenplay of the precedent succes of the trio Day-Hudson-Wandall, Pillow Talk) and the television writer Paul Henning, and depict some social behaviours and economic mechanisms of the 1960s (which are still present).
- Doctor Linus Tyler: Just what the world needs, a good 10-cent drunk!
- Carol Templeton: You kissed me and I was thrilled!
- Jerry Webster: A kiss? What does that prove? It's like finding out you can light a stove. It doesn't make you a cook.
