PILLOW TALK
"PILLOW TALK" --- (1959) ---
MY THOUGHTS: When I was a young girl, I watched ALL of the Doris Day & Rock Hudson movies, because I loved them SO much! They were great entertainment and "good clean fun," so my folks said I could watch them. I dreamed of having a wardrobe like Doris's (with the matching wrap for every gown or dress). I also dreamed of meeting a handsome man, who would someday sweep me off my feet, and make my face glow like hers did. Young girls and their romantic dreams. But as a grown woman, I still find them charming and thoroughly entertaining! Of course, I still want her wardrobe; but I'm plenty comfy and feeling fine in colorful PJs with matching slippers!! PJs seem like the perfect choice, for a film called "Pillow Talk!"
SYNOPSIS: "Playboy songwriter Brad Allen's succession of romances annoys his neighbor, interior designer Jan Morrow, who shares a telephone party line with him and hears all his breezy routines. After Jan unsuccessfully lodges a complaint against him, Brad sets about to seduce her in the guise of a sincere and upstanding Texas rancher. When mutual friend Jonathan discovers that his best friend is moving in on the girl he desires, however, sparks fly."
