Was Hoping for Better

Reviewed by Shellie, 2010-02-17

Although this is not a bad movie, it is not quite as good as I expected. I loved "Come September" which also had Rock Hudson and Gina Lolabrigida in it, so I thought I would see if they had made any other movies together. "Strange Bedfellows" turned out to be the only other film they made together and I ordered it in hopes of finding the same chemistry and humor in it as I had seen in "Come September". I can say this movie was only OK. If you're looking for a good comedy with these stars, I highly recommend "Come September" and wouldn't bother with "Strange Bedfellows" unless you are just a major fan of the stars and want it for that purpose alone.

gorgeous Gina and hunky Hudson in cute romantic comedy

Rock Hudson and Gina Lollobrigida (the former co-stars of 1961's "Come September") once again make a smashing team in the cute romantic comedy STRANGE BEDFELLOWS (produced and directed in 1965 by Melvin Frank).

Hudson plays Carter Harrison, a womanising company exec who marries Antonia (Lollobrigida), an Italian spitfire who is heavily into art and politics. When their marriage fails, Carter doesn't hear from Toni for many years, until his boss decides Carter will get a promotion if he can prove that he is a respectable (and, more to the point, MARRIED) man. He decides to lead Toni on to get the promotion but finds himself falling in love with her all over again. The memorable supporting cast includes Terry-Thomas, Nancy Kulp, Gig Young, Arthur Haynes and Edward Judd.

As other reviewers have noted, the film is presented in the wrong widescreen ratio, which will impact you if you own a widescreen television or 16:9 display. Still, we're lucky to have this movie on DVD in the first place.

The DVD includes the trailer. (Single-sided, single-layer disc).

classic comedy

Reviewed by I. Herron, 2007-05-12

I love these two together in a comedy. The up and down relationship is very intertaining. I hadn't seen this one for over 30 years and it wasn't quite as funny as what I had remembered as a teen. I still definitely liked it and would recomend it to others.

Rock and Gina: our ideal bedfellows

Reviewed by R. de Aquino, 2007-01-16

Matters of sexuality apart, Rock Hudson and Gina Lollobrigida would make highly desirable bedfellows, beautiful as they were in the mid 1960's. Melvin Frank's comedy is only average, but it has some very funny moments. Gig Young and Terry-Thomas provide good support. Lollo, dressed by Jean Louis, is a sight to behold; not to mention that her gift for comedy manages to surface here and there.
