Lover Come Back




The movie-going public was waiting with anticipation for this movie. The re-teaming of Doris Day and Rock Hudson.
How could they equal or top "Pillow Talk", which had been a runaway hit- garnering Miss Day with an Oscar nomination and hurling her to the No. 1 spot on the Herald's Top Box Office list?
Critics were sharpening their poison pens and their wit, to bring down those who have climbed to the top of the heap.
They were shocked to discover that screenwriter, Stanley Shapiro, now teamed with Paul Henning had produced a clever,
bright script that actually equaled or bettered "Pillow Talk".
Doris Day's performance was much improved here, for she had found the right key in which to present the totally sophisticated character of Carol Templeton and Rock Hudson
(Jerry Webster) looked more comfortable playing comedy than he did in the former film.
This movie became an instant success and was hailed as a triumph by the majority of film critics worldwide.

This time 'around, there was a better director, Delbert Mann, who handled this material with an expert's touch.
In reality, the film is very much like "Pillow Talk" because of the deceptive nature of the story, but the lines are funnier here and the situations are more risqué.
Jerry Webster and Carol Templeton work for rival advertising agencies on Madison Avenue. Webster's firm has a reputation of stealing accounts from other agencies by using unscrupulous tactics to nab new accounts (wine, women and sex).

Carol has plans to snag the Miller's Wax account, which is metamorphosing it's image with a new can and Templeton has, she thinks, just the right ideas to convince Mr. J. Paxton Miller (Jack Oakie) to give the account to her firm.
Webster, on the other hand, decides to shower the gentleman with liquor, women and carnal activities. Guess who wins out?
Furious at Webster's tactics, Carol accidentally learns from Webster's some times girlfriend, nightclub performer, Rebel Davis (Edie Adams) that he is going after a new account for a product called VIP.
Determined to "get even" with Webster for stealing the Paxton account, Carol sets out to outsmart her competition.She begins to mount a campaign for a product that doesn't exist.
Jerry Webster invented "VIP" to accommodate Rebel's disappointment in him at not getting her lucrative commercials and to bribe her into not testifying before the Advertising Council against him for unprofessional tactics in advertising.
You see, Carol Templeton has filed a complaint.
Listen to the opening music to "Lover Come Back"
"Lover Come Back" became an instant success"
