You know I had to comment on this one Dawn. Send Me No Flowers is my favorite Doris Day movie ever. It's perfect to me. Her chemistry with Rock and the whole storyline of this film is just wonderful. And great support from Paul Lynde. Glad you posted it. I will need to write my review of it shortly.
Monty, I can not wait to read your review.
