Review of Pillow Talk (1959) by Jim H — 20 Jul 2013
This is a classic romantic comedy as we think of the formula today. Doris Day and Rock Hudson went on to play opposite each other in two other films(Lover Come Back is my favorite), but their famous on-screen duets began here.
Day sings plenty, of course, and the production design actually feels quite sixties despite being a 1959 release. The real pleasure here, though, is the comedy. The actual plot points are about as believable as.
..well, they're not believable but the humor really works. And the chaste requirements of the production code at the time make it feel like modern Austen at certain moments. And come on, who doesn't love a happy ending?
