Cute graphics, the leading lady with the title tune by Buddy Pepper and Inez James, to Doris Day in the blue negligee and leading man Rock Hudson introducing the premise and the graphic gimmick, off to a rollicking start in their first picture together, in Pillow Talk, 1959.

Joining infuriated party-line customer Jan (Doris Day), we meet her ever hung-over maid Alma (Thelma Ritter) then the phone company man (Hayden Rorke), following just the first encounter with the leading man (Rock Hudson) she hasn't yet met, in Pillow Talk, 1959.

Interior decorator Jan (Doris Day) explains to again worse-for-wear maid Alma (Thelma Ritter) that her complaint to the phone company about her party-line partner (Rock Hudson as songwriter Brad) has failed, when he calls, their second indirect meeting, in Pillow Talk, 1959.

We learn that zillionaire Jonathan (Tony Randall), smitten customer of the dishy interior decorator played by Doris Day, is also the college pal and Broadway financier of songwriter Brad (Rock Hudson), with whom she's at war over their party-line, in Pillow Talk, 1959.

Doris Day offers her personal remembrance of her close friend and TCM's June, 2014 Star Of The Month, Rock Hudson.
