“So there I was, in my sick-bed when this film comes on. I start to watch, having never seen it before, and to my surprise, find myself laughing…out loud. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI have never really been a fan of either Doris Day or Rock Hudson, but I did enjoy this piece of fluff. And in our modern times when comedies currently released in the cinema can hardly raise a smile, let alone a laugh, I found this a pure delight. So the sexual politics maybe a little outdated, but there were some beautifully timed comedy set-pieces: The moment Doris Day discovers the real identity of Hudsonu0026#39;s character has one of the best use of music I have seen in a movie since the Warner Bros cartoons!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eA film that I didnu0026#39;t think I would enjoy, but was completely bowled over by.”
