In fact, when my parents and I were watching Turner Classic Movies the other night, we saw a train station in the Doris Day/Rock Hudson film, “Send Me No Flowers,” that looked almost exactly like Fullerton's Santa Fe depot. The Fullerton Santa Fe Train depot has been used as a filming location for many movies.

Assuming he'll soon be dead, George enlists his friend, Arnold (Tony Randall), to help him find a new husband for his wife, Judy (Doris Day). They eventually settle on Bert (Clint Walker), a successful businessman. But George's odd behavior makes Judy suspect he's covering up an affair.Send Me No Flowers / Film synopsis

At one of his many visits to his doctor, hypochondriac George Kimball mistakes a dying man's diagnosis for his own and believes he only has about two more weeks to live. Wanting to take care of his wife Judy, he doesn't tell her and tries to find her a new husband.
Rock Hudson later said he had disliked the film and thought it was distasteful to make a comedy about death. He recalled, "Right from the start, I hated the script. I just didn't believe in that man for one minute. Making fun of death is difficult and dangerous.
By what name was Send Me No Flowers (1964) officially released in Canada in English?
It’s very similar to the one we saw in our tour of Carol’s apartment in the movie, Lover Come Back filmed three years before in 1961. A glimpse into the built-in pantry. Love the depth of the shelves…perfect for canned goods and small items. The breakfast area is one of my fave areas of this home.
It’s not the breakfast area because the table is different. There’s the bar area again with Arnold, the neighbor, helping himself to a drink. Arnold begins drinking heavily in the movie when he learns his friend, George, only has six months to live, which of course, is totally false.
