Pillow Talk
Brad Allen: Look, I don't know what's bothering you, but don't take your bedroom problems out on me.
Jan Morrow: I have no bedroom problems. There's nothing in my bedroom that bothers me.
Brad Allen: Ohhh. That's too bad.
Released in 1959, Pillow Talk was the first of three films starring Doris Day and Rock Hudson. It concerns Jan Morrow, a career woman, and Brad Allen, a playboy songwriter. Much to her chagrin, her phone line is connected to his through a party line; his multiple romances make it near impossible for her to make a decent work-related phone call. When he meets her for real, he disguises his voice and adopts the name Rex Stetson. The charade works since she's never seen him, but can it last?
Pillow Talk was added to the National Film Registry in 2009.
