Lover Come Back [DVD] by Doris Day

A 1961 film with Doris Day and Rock Hudson in a battle between two advertising agencies. One works hard to gain clients, the other uses very dodgy methods. Caricatured of course, but amusing in places. The acting is good, the pace excellent, and overall we enjoyed it.

Not really suitable for children despite the PG rating. Nothing explicit, but a lot of implications, and some very scantily clad dancers.
