synopsis
After listening to his doctor talk about another patient, George, a hypochondriac, becomes convinced that he is the one in the terminal stage. Believing he is about to die, George asks his friend Arnold to help him find a new husband for Judy, his wife. But George’s strange behavior leads Judy to suspect that he is having an affair with another woman…
It is a beautiful farce situation, and Julius Epstein has written it, from a play by Norman Barasch and Carroll Moore, with nimble inventiveness and style.
The New York Times
Jewison's cockeyed comedy works its romantic magic with the flighty entanglement of the Hudson-Day, charming-kooky connection.
Movie Eye
Probably the best of the Doris Day/Rock Hudson vehicles, extracting a surprising amount of black (though sugar-coated) comedy out of the situation in which hypochondriac Rock, mistakenly believing he is dying, thoughtfully tries to arrange a remarriage for his widow-to-be with an old flame.
Time Out
