DOWN WITH LOVE

While inspired by the characters played by Doris Day in the early-sixties romantic comedies, DOWN WITH LOVE’s Barbara Novak turns them on their head. In her teamings with Rock Hudson, Day played the original pre-feminist working woman, who butted heads with Hudson while protecting her virginity at all costs.

Zellweger embraced DOWN WITH LOVE’s humor, characters and style. “I loved it. I laughed out loud when I first read the script,” says Zellweger. “I was surprised by how smart it was. The script was quick and streamlined, with not a wasted moment. It was a treat to be able to go back and play everything in the film old-school, in the original style of filmmaking. I just wanted to be Barbara and walk through those crazy Day-Glo Technicolor sets in my fabulous costumes. next>>>
