There are some films that are absolutely perfect in every way and this is one of them. No matter how many times I see it, I just enjoy every moment, savoring it like a delectable pastry. The fact that the script won an Oscar is indicative of how good the film is. When Doris Day talked to Rock Hudson about the script she said it was very funny and she was right on the money. Apparently, Hudson had some misgivings about doing a light comedy when he had developed into a top flight dramatic actor. He was the top male lead in movies at the time and did not want to do a thing to damage his reputation, but Day convinced Hudson the film would work and they would have fun making it and they did. And they became fast friends too with Day standing by Hudson even during the darkest days of his life with AIDS. The fact that Day and Hudson followed up this film with an equally good one with Lover Come Back is even more incredible. Between Pillow Talk and Lover Come Back Day and Hudson established themselves as one of the great romantic pairs in film.
