Lover Come Back is a 1961 American Eastmancolor romantic comedy film released by Universal-International Pictures and directed by Delbert Mann. It stars Doris Day and Rock Hudson and is their second time working together. The supporting cast includes Tony Randall, Edie Adams, Ann B. Davis, and Donna Douglas.

Day, Hudson and Randall appeared in three movies together, the others being Pillow Talk (1959) and Send Me No Flowers (1964).

The story is similar to that of Pillow Talk in that it includes mistaken identity as a key plot device. Although not as well known as Pillow Talk, the script by Stanley Shapiro and Paul Henning earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay.

The film was co-produced by Hudson (through his 7 Pictures Corporation), Day (through her Arwin Productions, and Stanley Shapiro and Paul Henning (through their Nob Hill Productions).^[3][4]
