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.
