PILLOW TALK (1959)

Studio: Universal Studios

Producer: Ross Hunter & Martin Melcher

Director: Michael Gordon

Awards: This film won the Oscar for best writing and nominated for best supporting & leading actress, best art direction and best music. It has also received three other awards with an additional four nominations.

Interesting Fact: In the scene at the diner where Tony Randal fakes a knockout, the actor to punch him made an accidental contact. This caused an actual knockout that they kept in the final film.

My Favorite Scene: There are so many scenes that I love in this film, but Rock Hudson accidental visits to the doctor tops them all.

This is the best romantic comedy I have ever seen.

Two people share a phone line, one of them a busy and sophisticated woman who works as an interior director, while the other is an over romantic musician who uses the line to sing to the new girl of the week. The woman is frustrated with this and has created a strict time schedule to use the phones. Now that they have become arch enemies, by chance, he meets her without her knowing who he is. Finding her attractive he disguises his voice as a tall Texan to begin a relationship. What makes it even worse is that his roommate is her boss and is in love with her also. With all the lies and confusion it is only a matter of time before everyone figures out what is happening.

-"Are you getting out of that bed, or am I coming in after you."
-"You wouldn't dare!"
