Doris Day and Rock Hudson Romantic Comedy Collection (Pillow Talk / Lover Come Back / Send Me No Flowers) [Blu-ray]

I was impressed with the quality of my used DVD. It was sealed and seemed to be new. Pillow Talk and Lover Come Back have very similar plots. They perfected the comedy by Lover Come Back, my favorite of the two. They made a original funny movie about a hypochondriac who thinks he's dying with Send Me No Flowers. One of the best things about all three movies is Tony Randall, he's funnier than the main characters.

Great movie. How could you go wrong with those 2 in it.

I have ordered many DVDS from Goodwill of Minnesota in the past couple of months. Every item was exactly the way it was described! I wish all companies were that honest! Thank you for some amazing offers for movies!

The title says it all! Another set of comedy movies made and watched by this individual in the 60’s and I could hardly wait to watch them again and again. If you are a lover of her and Rock’s comedy movies then this trio is one you should add to your collection! They take one back to when no one brought up differences, nik pick everything and enjoy pure humor and fall in love all over again!

No complaints from the gift recipient! They love Doris Day and seemed excited to receive this gift.

I am a huge fan of Doris and Rock's movies, so I was instantly attracted to this good deal. I do not regret my purchase one bit. First, about the packaging. I have never seen such attractive packaging for classic movies before. The box opens up and you find a separate box containing the discs. It folds out and you are welcomed with a full photo from Pillow Talk. Then it folds open again and reveals the dvds. There is a pocket for the Doris Day music cd, which contains eight songs from her movies, a pocket for Pillow Talk, with a scene from Pillow Talk on the background of the pocket, a pocket for Lover Come Back with a scene as well, and also Send Me No Flowers. The pictures are vivid and romantic, really portraying the type of movies Doris and Rock were known for. The only gripe I really have, is that there are no keep cases (the boxes you usually buy dvd's in), only the pockets so extra care has to be given so that they don't get scratched. Now onto the dvd's themselves. No changes have been made to the dvd's other than that Lover Come Back is new to dvd. I am still not crazy about the quality of the picture, being that it is a dvd. However, I do appreciate that the movies are seen in widescreen, which in my opinion gives it the edge of the vhs versions. Looking at the overall presentation, this collector's set is the best dvd deal I have seen in a long time. The attractive, unusual packaging, the fact that you get three dvd's and a cd for just over $20 cannot be beat. Grab this up while you can, it will make a great addition to anyone's dvd collection young or old.

This was the first DVD set to combine Doris Day and Rock Hudson's trilogy of romantic comedies into a single set. Released back in 2004, the set took the existing DVD of "Send Me No Flowers," the newly-released disc of "Lover Come Back," and simply made the existing DVD of "Pillow Talk" anamorphic widescreen with no other changes, and threw in a charming 8-track CD of Doris Day songs, mostly from films and including the title tracks from all three films. All in a very attractive package. The films themselves are slightly dated, but at the same time very fresh and vibrant. "Pillow Talk" and "Lover Come Back" are among the quintessential late-Production Code-era sex comedies - films that contain plenty of sly adult humor without ever saying or showing anything indecent. There's nothing in any of these films to offend or that will corrupt your kids - they'll respond to the low-brow and physical humor, while the innuendo goes over their heads but gives the adults some nice chuckles. "Pillow Talk" and "Lover Come Back" both follow a basic formula - Doris Day plays a beautiful sophisticated single career woman, kind of uptight, while Rock Hudson plays the handsome playboy who somehow ends up pretending to be someone else to woo her. "Send Me No Flowers" is not a sex comedy - it's more of a screwball comedy, with Hudson playing a hypochondriac who thinks he's dying and Day playing his wife, who thinks he's having an affair. All three films contain superb supporting performances by Tony Randall, who had supporting roles in many other similar films, such as "Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?" and "The Mating Game," and has some of the best lines in all three films. Sad that he was never recognized by the Academy for his witty performances in these films. "Pillow Talk" won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay, while Day received her only Best Actress nomination. Thelma Ritter in an excellent performance as a drunken housemaid received her fifth out of six nominations for Best Supporting Actress. (She never won and, with Deborah Kerr, holds the record for most Academy Award nominations without a win.) The film also received nominations for Best Art Direction and Best Original Score. "Lover Come Back" received an Oscar nomination for Best Original Screenplay. Unfortunately, the DVD's leave a lot to be desired. All three transfers are problematic, with "Send Me No Flowers" faring the best. The other two are scratchy in spots, with "Pillow Talk" actually faring the worst - faded portions, excessive grain during split-screen sequences, very scratchy during some parts. (The opening credits is actually one of the worst parts of this transfer in terms of scratches.) In addition, some early copies of the 2004 pressing were horribly misframed - I heard about this AFTER purchasing a used set from the Marketplace and worried I might get one of the uncorrected discs. Fortunately, I got lucky and got the corrected disc in my set, but it's still unacceptable that Universal allowed such a shoddy product to go out. All three discs are still better than what was shown on VHS and TV for years. (This widescreen transfer of "Pillow Talk," with all its faults on this disc, still outdoes the pan-and-scan extremely-faded VHS version by a mile.) All three films were reissued in a less extravagant set in 2007, and "Pillow Talk" is said to have been slightly improved, but not much. A 50th Anniversary Edition recycled the 2007 transfer and added new bonus materials. Most recently, it's become available on Blu-Ray, where the transfer is said to blow every DVD out of the water. Bonus materials on each DVD are slim to none. "Pillow Talk" contains a trailer and some text screens on the cast, crew, and production. "Send Me No Flowers" contains a trailer. "Lover Come Back" is completely barebones. The biggest bonus in this box set is the 8-track CD titled "The Doris Day Romance Music Collection CD." The disc contains 8 tracks, including all three title songs from the films in this set: 1. Secret Love 2. Lover Come Back 3. High Hopes 4. Send Me No Flowers 5. illow Talk 6. Pretty Baby 7. Makin' Whoopee 8. Whatever Will Be, Will Be (Que Sera, Sera) Clocking in at just over 21 minutes, one could wish that a few more songs had been included, including more of the songs from the films. I'd love for Sony Music to have included "Roly Poly," "Should I Surrender," and "Possess Me" on this CD. But it's still a nice extra and you can always find many uses for the songs on your playlists, mixtapes, etc. Or just pop in the CD for a quick trip to Happy Land! This CD is not included in the 2007 set. The packaging for the set is quite attractive. A nice thick box opens up holding a four-panel digipak - three trays hold each disc while a pocket holds the CD in its own cardboard sleeve. Each tray has photos from its respective film underneath the disc. While Universal may not have gone all out on the discs themselves, they did at least manage to package them in an attractive manner. (The 2007 collection, in comparison, is merely in a standard DVD case.) With all its faults - uneven transfers, barebones bonus materials - the set is still a good buy if you can find a copy for cheap. The films are loads of fun, the 8-track CD is a nice addition, and the packaging is quite beautiful. It'd have been nice if Universal had made better DVD's of the films to be included in here, including digitally restored transfers, NOT botching the original anamorphic reissue pressings of "Pillow Talk," and included additional bonus materials, but you'll still have lots of fun with this set.

Good price for 3 movies. The one thing that's missing is scene selection for the movies. But that's the only flaw. Other than that, it was fun to see some of my fave movies again 😍

A mi papá le gustó mucho su regalo. Peliculas muy buenas de su época. Muy buena fidelidad de las películas y llegaron antes de la fecha programada

Excellent movies, but this review is not about the movies its about the blu ray disc. I owned all 3 of these films already and was unsure as to whether or not to upgrade to the blu ray, but I took a chance and ordered from the US. I am so pleased I did!!! The picture quality is amazing, so clear and perfect and the sound is excellent too, all 3 films are brilliant quality and I watched on a 48" Sony LCD and Sony Blu Ray player and it was a lovely watching experience for all 3. Also a note to the wise, these are US release Blu Ray and not released in the UK however, this is a region free Blu Ray box set and so therefore will play on UK players without a hitch. I am glad I ordered mine!

Does it get any better than Doris Day and Rock Hudson, too much sexy for 1 film so they made 3. I miss these type of comedy's nowadays. Doris and Rock emit a sex appeal that goes beyond just the physical, you can certainly tell they enjoyed each other's company. I miss the days of comedy when they didn't have to fill a scrip with foul words and nudity to 'get a laugh'. I am by no means a prude when it comes to those such things however there is such a thing as too much and whatever happened to leaving something to the imagination. Movie makers in today's industry must consider the audience's quite lazy and lay everything out on the screen for them. When it comes down to it I will always treasure these films when you could watch a movie and enjoy it from beginning to end. Thank you Doris Day and Rock Hudson for 3 wonderful movies, my only wish is that they had made more together.

3本の映画とも個別にＢＤが出ているため、3本重ねた上に紙ジャケットをかぶせたものが届くのかと思っていましたが、4枚入るタイプのプラスチックケースに収まっていて、通常のＢＤ1枚のプラスチックケース並みの厚みしかないため省スペースです。 Lover Come BackとSend me no Flowers は1000円ちょっとで売られており、これは3000円ちょっとです。3本個別に買っても3000円程度なら個別に買うつもりだったのですが、Pillow Talk だけ日本語字幕付きのためか3000円ちょっとだったので、合計で5000円を超えてしまいます。SDH（全聾および聴覚困難者用英語字幕）付きであればヒアリング不得意でも問題ないので、これを購入。 画質についていえば Pillow Talk がダントツで素晴らしく、少しの差ですが、Lover Come Back、Send me no Flowersとクオリティが下がっていきます。3作の中で一番古いPillow Talkには、ネガの修復の様子を伝える映像などの特典映像も付いており、かなり力を入れて作った様子が伝わってきます。これだけ日本語字幕付きが出ているところを見ても人気作なのでしょう。他の2作の特典映像は当時の予告編だけです。

Arrived today, a bit late than I expected but well worth it yo watch this brilliant duo in blu ray. Brilliant thanks.
