Pillow Talk (1959)

Second viewing; first was on January 24, 1995.

A womanizer and a single woman share a phone line (a "party line" is what they call it) between themselves, and dislike each other intensely. He sees her by chance in a public place and from then on can only think of getting her to bed.

Funny comedy, with some very sophisticated screenplay aspects, and a few others which are sillier but still are very funny. The whole film is splendidly directed.
The songs Doris sings are terribly uninspired, though. The ending, too, is unsatisfactory, I think.

Rating: 73 (down from 77)
