The two take an immediate dislike to each other since Jan considers Brad a playboy who ties up the line constantly making romantic overtures to a variety of women, while Brad considers Jan a sexually frustrated prude who has nothing better to do than snoop into his private affairs. But when Brad discovers how attractive the other half of his party line is, he devises a plan to seduce her by masquerading as a virtuous Texan. [More]

Reviews for Pillow Talk
The first -- and best -- of the witty, well-produced sex comedies starring Doris Day and Rock Hudson.
Compulsively mainstream as only 50s Hollywood could be, and never very funny.
...Hudson and Day's palpable chemistry together [is] evident almost immediately...
The first and the best of the three romantic comedies Doris Day made with Rock Hudson at Universal offers a good case of deconstructing the stars' respective screen images.
Day is the prudish spinster forced to share a party-line with philandering Hudson in this charming sex comedy.
