Watch Pillow Talk For Free

Sorry, this movie sucks

Nice effects though.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

I'm often asked which of Doris Day's movies I would most highly recommend (I've been a fan since I was seven years old).I'll stay within the years 1953 to 1963 because the only one I disliked in that period was "The Tunnel Of Love". Like most of the other reviewers,"Pillow Talk" has to be my first choice.It's hard to add anything new to the excellent,glowing reviews that precede mine but I'll try. For a start,this movie makes me chuckle to myself just thinking about it.Everything works for me,from the opening credits to the end. Doris looks gorgeous throughout and her timing and double takes are a treat.I relish the moment when she attempts to reach a compromise over the party-line problem and very reasonably suggests to 'Mr. Allen'; "we are just going to have to try living with one- another".The way she pauses,on realizing what she may have insinuated, reminds me of a similar classic moment with Clark Gable in "Teacher's Pet"(don't miss that one). Rock Hudson was obviously very much at ease with Doris,both on and off screen and his comic timing is also spot on.To quote Doris; "What a marvellous looking man". Thelma Ritter and Tony Randall are both in top form.Love the elevator man too.

The story goes like this. We begin the movie with Jan Morrow. She is a frustrated, rude woman that has no patients. She is also not in any kind of a relationship. I guess she's waiting for the right one to come along. She is sharing a party line with Brad Allen, played by Rock Hudson. He is the opposite of her because he is far from frustrated. He has relationships with the opposite sex every night. In the middle of these two is their friend Jonathan Forbes, played by Tony Randall. Jonathan also happens to want Jan and has no idea Brad even knows her. Jan and Brad have many arguments and they aren't exactly crazy about one another. That's until Brad sees her at a restaurant and overhears who she is. Being that Jan appeals to Brad and that he also feels like screwing with her head, he wins her over and begins a romantic relationship with her. Only she doesn't know who he is. He is Brad Allen on the phone, but with her in person, he is a Texan named Rex Stetson. His western accent hides his real voice that she hears on the phone. When watching the movie, you wonder if she'll find out who he really is. And if she does, what will happen.There are so many funny scenes in this movie that I don't even know where to begin. The three actors in this movie are great together. We have Rock Hudson, Doris Day and Tony Randall, a perfect trio for a romantic comedy. This movie is very funny and fun to watch. This is probably my favorite movie that Rock Hudson and Doris Day made together. See this classic. See this great romantic comedy and you won't be disappointed. Turn it on, get a bowl of popcorn and watch a great movie. It's great for a date night.

The settings are cute, the wardrobe lovely, the actors talented, and the script snappy, but I really could not get into this film.This is one of the many movies I have seen with the formula of manipulative louse finds upstanding citizen with something they want (ex. power, wealth, that body), cons them, louse ends up not following through with it because true love, upstanding citizen finds out truth and freaks, but no worries, they get back together in under twenty minutes.I disliked it in Guys and Dolls, but here there are no side plots or fantastic music numbers to distract me.So the story is that a man with fantastic charisma which he uses to pick up women is hogging the party line of the female lead. She is rightfully annoyed about this but he is dismissive and says she is just jealous he isn't one of the women he chats up.She complains to multiple people, but everyone without a crush on her hints that she is not really mad about not being able to call people from her home (what?) but what she is really upset over is not getting the D.Manipulative louse gets away with it because he put all his character points on charisma. (I did some home installations a few years ago and I would have been really uncomfortable with someone crowding me like that, no matter how pretty they are.) Then they meet outside of the apartment, face to face, for the first time. Louse goes,'Wait, the woman who has been yelling at me is hot. I want a piece of that.' He proceeds to use a fake accent to chat her up. Cue shenanigans of him trying to keep her from finding out the truth. Insert rest of formula.Movies like this make me want to take the upstanding citizen aside and go, "Honey, I know you are lonely and really attracted to this person, but I want you think about something for a moment. The person you are attracted to has spent years of their life manipulating people to get what they want. Behavior like that does not clear up overnight. Just because they love you doesn't mean those bad habits won't reemerge. So I want you to think about this for a while away from them before you find yourself swept along in something that could be really damaging down the line. I know I'm over-thinking this, it's a comedy. On the other hand, there are much worse movies out there who don't deserve such a loop hole. I'll stick to my 6/10, only because many people won't be bothered by the same things as I.

***SPOILERS*** Getting constantly interrupted on her telephone party line in her job as an interior decorator Jan Morrow, Doris Day,is determined to keep the other party on the party line handsome music composer Brad Allen, Rock Hudson,off her phone while she's doing business with her customers. Brad is always on the phone with his bevy of girlfriends whom he's juggling around in that they don't know about each other and think that their the only one or one's for him and no one else. It's when Brad, while taking one of his star struck female admirers out to dinner, spots Jan and realizes who she is, the person on his party line, that he decides to work his charm and good looks on her instead of constantly being at odds with Jan. There's only one fly in the ointment in all this! Brad's good friend and who's financing his latest Broadway musicale millionaire and three time divorced Jonathan Forbes, Tony Randall, who's madly in love with Jan and want's to make her wife number four!One of the best screwball comedies of the 1950's and 1960's with the tall dark and handsome Rock Hudson, Brad Allen, trying to get the apple pie all-American girl or women, she's 35 at the time the film was made, Doris Day, Jan Morrow, in the sack with him only to find out that she's involved with his best friend Tony Randall, Jonathan Forbes. There's also a very ironic scene in the film with Hudson, as Brad Allen, using the fake name and persona of Texas oil and cattle millionaire Rex Stetson trying to convince Doris, Jan Morrow, that he, or Brad, is in fact gay or a sissy and doesn't really go for girls in the romantic and manly way of doing things. He just want's to swap recipes with them!There's also the elderly, at age 57, Thelma Ritter as Jan's maid Alma who's ability to put it, booze, away would make legendary boozers like Dean Martin and W.C Fields look like tea totalers in comparison. Elma like every other woman, young & old, in the movie just can't keep her eyes off Rock, or Brad, and ends up drinking the poor guy under the table in a boozing contest that he in fact, in not knowing what he's up against, initiated!***SPOILERS*** Utterly hilarious ending with Brad enraged in how Jan, in him making things up with her, decorated his bachelor pad by making it look like the Presidential Suite at an expensive and high class Paris or New Orleans bordello as he literally kidnaps Jan and takes her there, in her pajamas, to have fun and games with. The movie "Pillow Talk" would end up being one of the biggest money makers of 1959 and spinning off two more like wise and successful adult screwball comedies "Lover Come Back" in 1961 and "Send Me No Flowers" in 1964 reuniting Rock Hudson again with Doris day and Tony Randell as his co-stars in them.
