Synopsis
Lover Come Back (1961) is Delbert Mann's romantic comedy, and you can watch online on iFILM. Rock Hudson and Doris Day play two Madison Avenue ad executives who can't stand each other — until a lie traps them both in the same corner.
Jerry Webster keeps poaching clients from his rival Carol Templeton with loud parties, free liquor and a roster of pretty girls, so Carol sets out to even the score. She chases down a mysterious product called "VIP" that Jerry is supposedly promoting. The catch: there is no product, just an empty campaign he cooked up in a panic. To cover himself, Jerry poses as the shy scientist who invented it — and Carol, not recognizing her enemy, starts falling for him. Tony Randall, jittery as the agency's anxious boss, milks the chaos for every laugh.
It's one of the sharpest Hudson-and-Day pairings after Pillow Talk: breezy, flirtatious, and packed with snappy talk about the advertising racket. The screenplay landed an Academy Award nomination, and the comic timing shows exactly why. Perfect for a cozy night with vintage Hollywood. Stream Lover Come Back (1961) online on iFILM.
