Great line!!! I love it! If some of you are having trouble understanding the gag...let me explain...
Not only was Rock Hudson a Hollywood Hunk, but he also starred in three great comedies with Doris Day (Pillow Talk, Send Me No Flowers, Lover Come Back). They were also best friends. That's why it is so funny :P
And I recommend all three comedies I listed...Tony Randall also stars in all three films.
"In Vino Veritas"
A great in - joke, probably the best line in the film considering her history with Rock Hudson.
"I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not".
I always loved those kind of jokes in films....like another good example is in The Seven Year Itch....rent it and see if you can find it :)
"In Vino Veritas"
In another in-joke, she sings along with "Que Sera, Sera" as it's played in the restaurant where she and Niven go out for dinner.
She had only made "Pillow Talk" with Hudson when she shot this film, so while they had one solid hit behind them they were not quite the legendary team they would become by making three films together. Too bad this wasn't one of them. Niven overdoes the sour and stops "Daisies" from being a better movie.
Some other good in-jokes: Spencer Tracy as a priest in "San Francisco" ad-libbing a reference to "the Rooney kid" while on the phone (he and Rooney had recently filmed "Boy's Town"), Cary Grant referring to himself as Archibald Leach (his real name) in "His Girl Friday", Tony Curtis being mistaken for his "Some Like It Hot" co-star Jack Lemmon in "Sex and the Single Girl", Elizabeth Taylor reciting "bags, bags, go away, come right back on Doris Day!" in "The Mirror Crack'd" while Hudson looks on...
Not exactly in-jokes, but Kevin Costner portraying JFK conspiracy theorist Jim Garrison after proclaiming in "Bull Durham" that he believed Oswald acted alone and Richard Gere telling Diane Keaton in "Looking For Mr. Goodbar" that he is reading "The Godfather", which she had co-starred in the film version of.
