A star rating of 4 out of 5.

Tony Sloman

Riotously funny or extraordinarily tasteless, depending on your point of view, this "comedy" stars Rock Hudson as a hyper-hypochondriac who's convinced he's dying. Doris Day plays his put-upon wife and Tony Randall is the friend and neighbour who takes the news of Hudson's impending "demise" very badly. It's sophisticated stuff, the last of the Day/Hudson collaborations, shot through with a mordant wit that may chime better with today's audience than it did with movie-goers back in the 1960s. Paul Lynde is hysterical as a cemetery plot salesman, and there are telling performances from Edward Andrews and big Clint Walker. Hudson was invariably underrated as a performer, but here he's excellent, lending grace to a difficult role and imbuing his character with sly, winning humour.
