Pillow Talk (1959) Film Review B - TheBrownees

Pillow Talk (1959) Film Review B

Pillow Talk
DIRECTOR: Michael Gordon
BOTTOM LINE: This was the first of three romantic comedies in which Doris Day, Rock Hudson, and Tony Randall starred together, the other two being “Lover Come Back” (1961) and “Send Me No Flowers” (1964). An enormous success, it was the biggest BO hit of 1959. Hudson plays Brad Allen, a (straight) Broadway composer and playboy who shares a party line with Miss Day’s Jan Morrow, a successful interior decorator (and a virgin) in late1950s New York City. He’s always on the phone, talking to his latest conquests, while she cannot make a single call.
Of course, it’s love when they meet, although not strictly at first sight. Hudson’s character has a gay alter ego named “Rex,” and supporting actors Tony Randall and Nick Allen constantly brush off the gay ceiling. This was Miss Day’s only Oscar-nominated performance.
