Pillow Talk

This week I saw two movies. Pillow Talk(1959) and In the Heat of the Night(1967). Two drastically different movies, but both making a statement. One about woman on her own in sixties Manhattan and the other about a African American police officer in a small racist town in Mississippi. This one is about Pillow Talk, next one will follow soon.

Talented interior designer Jan Marlow battle the advances of playboy Brad Allen, with whom she has to share a ‘Party line’. Because of his womanizing nature, he causes quite a lot of discomfort to Doris Day’s character, so he stands no chance of winning her heart as Brad. So when he personally meets her, he pretends to be a southern tourist visiting New York. Who wouldn’t fall for Rock Hudson being all gentleman (he has looks that can kill, girls can surely get a real eye candy in this movie). This sets ball rolling for a very hilarious romantic comedy.

The dialogues are super-witty. They keep the tempo going. Jonathan, a client hopelessly in love with Jan and her always hung over maid Alma, provide with great laughs. You even end up laughing when the heroin is crying her eyes out :). The movie ends happily, as all romantic comedy do, and at the end of movie, you do get satisfaction of watching a good movie.

If you are in mood for a light movie to make you laugh, try to get hands on the DVD for this movie, it is a lot fun to watch. (But girls, please ignore some chauvinistic lines like, ‘You need a man to take care of’). Watch this movie for superb dialogues and girls, for Rock Hudson looking oh so delectable!

Have fun and happy weekend!
