SYNOPSIS
Rock Hudson and Doris Day proved to be an irresistible pair in this 1959 hit rom-com that scored big at the box office and landed an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. In the very 1950s set-up, Day’s interior decorator and Hudson’s womanizing composer run afoul of each other when she complains about his overuse of their shared telephone party line. When coincidence leads Hudson to meet Day in person and he takes an interest in her, he disguises his voice, and the games begin. Rock Hudson’s name has become synonymous with the Hollywood closet, as perhaps the biggest star ever to eventually come out. Though his private life was known to many in Hollywood circles, his professional status as a top big-screen heartthrob long kept him from acknowledging the truth. In a curious turn, the persona he adopts in PILLOW TALK to hoodwink Day leads to suspicions that his character might be gay - an innocent coincidence, or a wink from behind the scenes?
