Brief synopsis of Pillow Talk

The uninhibited story of a carefree bachelor and a carefree career girl and the hilarious things that happen when they tangle. Rock Hudson is Brad Allen a songwriter and notorious playboy. Doris Day is Jan Morrow, a "pert" interior decorator. Together they share a party line over which they develop an intense dislike for one another. But when Brad eventually matches Jan's voice to her face and figure, the events that follow in this uproarious romantic comdedy succeed in giving new meaning to the phrase "All's fair in love and war."

Critics Reviews

Rating of 4 stars out of 5 Radio Times

This romantic comedy was the first and most entertaining of the series of films Doris Day made for Universal Studios that gave the singing star a career lift and successfully teamed her with the likes of Cary Grant, James Garner and her most popular partner, Rock Hudson. It's ultra-glossy froth, and the smart plot about Day and Hudson sharing a telephone party line won an Oscar for best story and screenplay. Hudson displays a flair for adroit humour, but the funniest material goes to Tony Randall (never better) and the acerbic Thelma Ritter, and both shine through the heavily piled-on glamour (the hallmark of co-producer Ross Hunter). Director Michael Gordon's use of CinemaScope is exemplary.

Rating of 2 stars out of 4 Halliwell's Film Guide

Slightly elephantine romantic comedy which nevertheless contains a number of funny scenes and was notable for starting off the HudsonÐDay partnership and a run of similar comedies which survived the sixties.

Rated - 3 starsPillow Talk!

A very feel good Doris Day and Rock Hudson musical. Jan Morrow (Doris) and Brad Allen (Rock) share a party line which Brad always seems to be using to seduce women much to Jan's annoyance. Brad's best friend (Tony Randall) lfancies himself in love with Jan and unknowingly reveals to Brad her party line hogger. Obviously, after seeing Jan, Brad can't resist a challenge and to woo her, he plays Rex Stetson, a Texas rancher visiting New York. This is where the fun begins and despite the predictablity you're still going to enjoy the fun fun fun!

Rated - 5 starsWonderful Movie

A customer from Gloucester , 22/07/2005

I know the PC Brigade will hate this movie, but if you want a glimpse in to a gentler time where love and laughter weren't a sign of weakness, Pillow Talk is the movie of a lifetime. Doris Day & Rock Hudson show that there is more to life than the workaday world. It is well worth the time taken to watch this movie...especially with the one you share 'pillow talk' with.
