Lover Come Back
By admin | July 13, 2007
There were three ‘talkie’ pictures made with the title Lover Come Back according to Fandango
My favorite was this one, suprised?, the Doris Day / Rock Hudson version from 1961.

Irene was the costume designer for Ms. Days’ outfits in this movie. And what outfits they were! Who else could have pulled off sexy, beautifully tailored ‘office’ apparel and fun, sexy, tailored casual clothing like this beaded top or the one-piece bathing suit? And then top it off with a funky hat that allows us to still believe this ad woman is a serious enough character to compete against Rock Hudson’s ad man character. That takes a talented and unique costume designer. The hats taunt as if to say, “Top that Givenchy and Edith Head!”.
The wardrobes that Irene had designed for Doris Day is a big reason that Ms. Day had become a fashion icon who ranked even higher than Elizabeth Taylor, Julia Roberts, and Audrey Hepburn. Ms. Day knew her talent and publicly stated that Irene was her favorite costume designer. Irene deserved at least as much credit from her colleagues.

When Slobo first showed me this website I went on a spree to find all of my old favorite Doris Day films. The only one I couldn’t find and still hunting for is “Don’t Eat the Daisies.” Her wardrobes were always amazing. And “Lover Come Back” was the first on my list of films to find and watch.
