Featured a strong supporting cast that included another Oscar nominee, Thelma Ritter, as a wisecracking maid, and Tony Randall as Day's fussbudget suitor. [09 Sep 2011, p.C6]
83
Nominated for five Oscars, Pillow Talk led to two more Day/Hudson collaborations, but this is by far the best.
83
It’s the perfect first-date movie: It’s flirty and romantic and a little bit saucy, but it leaves viewers with just a peck on the cheek at the end of the night.
80
One of the most lively and up-to-date comedy-romances of the year.
75
The first of the witty, well-produced sex comedies featuring Day and Hudson.
60
Frothily enjoyable, although in comparison with (say) the battle-of-the-sexes comedies of Hawks, it often seems complacent and shallow.
50
Compulsively mainstream as only 50s Hollywood could be, and never very funny.

Movie is amusing rom-com fun. I was surprised that this was a quasi musical, and I was semi shocked by the amount overt sexual innuendo, given the year of release, 1959. Doris Day is so charming, and I liked the clever use of split screen, and the bright color schemes.
