"You're my inspiration..." - By: B. Chandler, 26 Aug 2008 
Jan Morrow (Doris Day) is an interior decorator that relies on her telephone for business. Brad Allen (Rock Hudson) is a songwriter who relies on his telephone for monkey business. Turns out that they both share the same party line. Yep you saw it coming. Unknown to either of them, the Broadway producer that Brad is writing for, Jonathan Forbes (Tony Randalll), is as close to love with Doris day as he was with his previous wives. Putting two & two together, rock Hudson realizes that his party line antagonist is a blonde cutie.
Knowing that he does not have a chance with her if he reveals his true identity, he takes on Texas persona (Rex Stetson.) Will this work? Will Tony Randalll find out? Better still will Doris day find out the truth? Will decorating sense prevail? This could get ugly.
Look for the split screen scenes while they are talking on the phone. And Doris gets a chance to sing.
Romcom heaven - By: Andrew Curtis, 08 Jul 2006 The first & best of the Day / Hudson comedies. Reportedly, Rock Hudson was nervous about his ability to manage in a comic role, (or was it the gay innuendo in the script making him nervous) but he needn't have been.
This is a superbly directed & acted romcom of the type that Hollywood just can't seem to do nowadays. The lead actors give excellent performances & the are some wonderful comic set pieces that will make you laugh out loud.
Amongst the supporting cast, Thelma Ritter is perfect as Day's drunken maid (drinking Rock Hudson under the table) & Tony Randalll is as effective as always.
If you don't mind it being a little dated, it's about as good a romantic comedy as there is.
