PILLOW TALK (1959)
MICHAEL GORDON
Plot
Brad and Jan share a phone line and as a result develop a hatred for one another. But when Jan falls in love with a handsome Texan she has no idea it could be the same man. The combination of Technicolor and fifties kitsch makes this a dazzling comedy. The premise of the film is a reversal on 'You've Got Mail' although the technology is rather dated here! It's a simple but lovely comedy that is perfect for a rainy afternoon. Party phone lines may be a thing of the past but the split screen effect used during the phone conversations has become much more commonplace.
