Movie Reviews of Pillow Talk
Movie Review: Pillow Talk
Summary: 5 Stars
The first and most successful pairing of leading man Rock Hudson and wholesome singing star Doris Day, Pillow Talk is colorful, lively and clever throughout. Both leads work beautifully together, with surprising comic flair. The inimitable Tony Randall is worth the price of admission playing Rocks neurotic, sad- sack buddy.Movie Review: Dynamic Duo
Summary: 5 Stars
To me, this is the best of the Doris Day/Rock Hudson movies. It's well written, funny and features some fine acting (Thelma Ritter and Tony Randall are a hoot). If you love the comedies of the '50's and early '60's, it's hard to beat this one.Movie Review: Love it!!!

Summary: 4 Stars
Jan Morrow (Doris Day) is a well-dressed interior decorator that unwillingly shares a party line with playboy Brad Allen (Rock Hudson). Unknowingly, they also share a business relationship with Jonathan Forbes (Tony Randall). When Jan complains to Brad about his disrespect for women, he accuses her of having "bedroom problems." This infuriates her to the point of throwing herself in the arms of the next man she meets, Rex Stetson, who turns out to be Brad in "disguise." Having never seen Brad before, he just needed to speak with an accent and turn on some Texan charm. However, Jonathan is pursuing a disinterested Jan and doesn't want a strapping playboy in the competition. During the pretense, "Rex" develops genuine feelings for Jan while Jonathan strives to expose the deception. After everything backfires on everyone, they resort to unconventional methods of resolving differences. Brad tries to get the housekeeper Alma (Thelma Ritter), a lush and who is Brad Allen's most devoted party-line listener, drunk in order to find Jan's vulnerable side.
I first came in the middle of PILLOW TALK, so later had to go back and see what I missed -- which could be summed up in one sentence: "Opposites attract as designer Day and playboy Hudson share a party line while wealthy Randall competes for Day." The remaining 43 minutes is where the action begins.
For Oscar-nominated Day, this movie represents a departure from her girl-next-door image. Though starting off traditionally, she later wants Rex to make a play for her -- practically inviting herself on a weekend cabin retreat with him before returning to her desire for matrimony. As was the case in LOVER COME BACK, there are brief scenes where circumstance causes others in the film to question Hudson heterosexuality. Not knowing when his alternative lifestyle began, either fact follows fiction or he cherished the opportunity to peek out of the closet before it was popular. In 1985 he died of AIDS. Randall adds his usual levity when he enters a scene. Except for the bar room drinking match, Ritter's role is somewhat incidental. The humor stems from the movie plot rather than slapstick jokes. Through it all, Day carries the bulk of the comedy.
Movie quote: "I have no bedroom problems. There's nothing in my bedroom that bothers me."
