Tom Poco*ck

London Evening Standard

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.

Hollywood Reporter

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.

Matt Brunson

Film Frenzy

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.

Rated: 3.5/4

It offers up escapism for real working women who don’t get to wear designer clothing all the time or spend their nights hanging out in fancy restaurants...

Mike Massie

Gone With The Twins

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.

Rated: 9/10

Tracy McD We had the time of our lives watching Pillow Talk today. I didn't expect to love it as much as I did, since I've seen it on TV before. We laughed out loud throughout the film, as did others in the theatre It's the first time I can recall going into the ladies restroom and seeing other women chatting merrily about a film. We were all smiles and giddy. Thank you for bringing these classic films back to the big screen. This is great entertainment. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review CodyZamboni 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 Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/28/23 Full Review Nizar N One of the best romcoms I've ever seen, if not the best. It's witty, the script is creative, the quips are funny, the chemistry between the actors is natural, the cinematography is beautiful… And it's memorable. Pillow Talk is a must-watch.
