Pillow Talk



“Takes only one sip of wine to know if it’s a good bottle!”

“Oh, this is a good bottle.”

“Well, what are ya’ waiting for?”

Now, that’s what I call a marvelous romantic-comedy! The darling, bright-eyed songstress Doris Day and the frightfully handsome and equally talented Rock Hudson team up with wonderful chemistry to give viewers mischievous comedy and whimsical romance all at once! So bright, light and entertaining, you never want it to end. J

Stanley Shapiro and Maurice Richlin adapted the story written by Russell Rouse and Clarence Green. Winner of an Oscar that year in 1959, and an additonal 8 wins and 8 nominations, ‘Pillow Talk’ delivered everything but the moon. Lovely and simple story well executed with smooth transitions and a remarkable soundtrack, including the songs, ‘Possess Me’, ‘You Lied’ and ‘Roly Poly’ to name a few.

The story’s message teaches the audience despite what you may think of someone, you’re most likely wrong; that people change when they’re ready to, opposites most times attract, and no matter how appalling the argument it’s always wise to talk it out! J 

Delightfully charming from start to finish – certainly a ‘JourneywithJair’ recommendation!
