Pillow Talk (1959) starring Rock Hudson, Doris Day, Tony Randall, Thelma Ritter. Brad and Jan (Hudson and Day) share a party line, and Jan is weary of overhearing his romantic conversations with his many girlfriends. Besides, she can't get the line free to place an outgoing call. A plot twist has Brad pursuing Jan romantically, though under an assumed name -- he knows he'd never have a chance if she knew it was him. Randall plays Brad's friend Jonathan, who is in love with Jan, and Ritter adds spice as Jan's perpetually hungover housekeeper. Although the movie is in some ways quite retro (who's ever heard of a party line?), it is for its time rather risque and filled with double entendre. It's actually rather fun. The subtitles are fine. Grade: B+
