One reviewer from Amazon.com:

"I can't imagine not loving a movie with such a perfect trio as Doris Day, Rock Hudson and Tony Randall. I could watch this film again and again and laugh hysterically each time!

George Kimball (Rock Hudson) is a hopeless hypochondriac who, after overhearing his doctor speaking with a specialist about another of his patients, believes he 'could go at any minute'. He convinces his best friend and neighbor Arnold Nash(Tony Randall) of his impending demise causing Arnold to immediately immerse himself in a drunken stupor.

Deciding to keep his coming death from his wife Judy (Doris Day), George and Arnold set out to find a new husband for her.

Enter Burt Powers (Clint Walker).

George is trying to convince Judy that her old school flame is the best thing in the world. When Judy sees George being kissed by a newly divorced woman she immediately jumps to the wrong conclusion. To calm her down George is forced to tell her of his condition.

The fun of this movie is watching Rock dig deeper and deeper into trouble. Doris Day's character completely belives her beloved is near death and will go to any length to help him. That is, until she learns the truth!

Paul Lynde who appears as a well-meaning funeral director is a hoot! He brings a whole new element of funny into the film.

I highly recommend this movie. You certainly will not regret it. I can only hope it will be released onto DVD VERY soon!"

I had forgotten about the wonderful Paul Lynde as the funeral director. Also, Edward Arnold as George and Judy's doctor
