It may not be a memorable film, but throughout the bleak January morning of the Press pre-view I found myself wearing a happy grin. And that is considerable praise.

The most exciting thing about it is that, under the surprisingly sophisticated direction of Michael Gordon, Rock Hudson undergoes the metamorphosis from stock leading man to one of the best light comedians in the business.

Pillow Talk is a sleekly sophisticated production that deals chiefly with s-e-x.

3.5/4

It’s impossible to imagine this movie not being presented in CinemaScope, as the widescreen format is integral in supporting the imaginative use of split-screen techniques.

9/10

The script is outrageously witty (or in hysterically bad taste) and endlessly romantic, even if the whole scenario is a cruel ruse that must eventually come crashing down.

Fun light romantic comedy movie with the delightful Doris Day and the handsome Rock Hudson with the able support of Tony Randall & Thelma Ritter. I love watching most of the movies from the fifties & sixties on Saturday & Sundays. Brings back great memories from my childhood.

Cute for its time, but some non-PC moments did not age too well.

In my Top 5 Doris Day Sexist Movies...Love it. It's Dreammy, where's my pillow...can always go to bed with this 1.

A frolicking, fun farce that elevates the viewer to a simpler time of party-lines (yes, they did exist), wide-eyed innocence, and the thrill of the chase. Hudson's over-the- top antics and Day's doleful abashment yet fiery spirit help create a tension-filled, romantic romp that connects with even the most "modern-minded" viewers.

Entirely predictable late-50s fluff, charmingly performed (and occasionally mugged) by Rock Hudson and Doris Day. The pleasures lie in the incidentals: the split-screen, the outrageous hats, the shameless rear projection and studio exteriors. This is a snapshot of America before the Cold War, Vietnam and student protest. One black face in 100 minutes!
