Plot: This amusing romantic comedy concerns Dr. Gerald Boyer (James Garner), a successful gynecologist with a wife and two children. Wife Beverly (Doris Day) focuses on maintaining the household and watching the kids. One of Gerald's patients, Mrs. Fraleigh (Arlene Francis), overhears Beverly talking up a new product she's discovered called 'Happy Soap' - whose manufacturer just happens to be Mrs. Fraleigh's father-in-law, Old Tom Fraleigh (Reginald Owen). She introduces Beverly to him; hugely impressed, the old man offers her $80,000 a year to pitch a new product called Happy Soap. Beverly's career takes her away from her family responsibilities and causes a series of comedic commotions for Gerald and the kids. He comes home from work one morning and accidentally drives his convertible into a freshly dug swimming pool ordered by Beverly without his knowledge. The furious physician throws a bevy of boxes of Happy Soap into the pool, causing the house to be engulfed in suds by morning (which the kids mistake for snow). The family maid Olivia (Zasu Pitts) is nearly driven crazy with the events and has many harried scenes of comedic frustration. Directed by Norman Jewison, this thouroughly engaging comedy was written by Larry Gelbart and Carl Reiner. Reiner provides the screenplay for the feature which turned out to be the last film appearance of Zasu Pitts. With her passing marked the end of a long and successful career as a comedic and well respected actress that began in 1917. ~ Dan Pavlides, All Movie Guide

Delightful romp

A pretty typical Doris Day outing with Jim Garner in the role usually occupied by Rock Hudson. It has many nice moments and will probably hold your interest unless you hate this type of movie.

This is an all time classic. Clean, but oh so funny with cameos by Carl Reiner, who wrote the script along with the great Larry Gelbart (MASH, Funny thing happened on the way to the Forum).

Your whole family can watch this over and over again!

I grew up watching it - before I knew how great Doris Day is as an actress. I can't decide if I like her better with James Garner or Rock Hudson, (or Cary Grant) but Pillow Talk is a close second.

I wish they would come out with a DVD of Fluffy, which starred Tony Randall and Shirley Jones. Anyone remember that?
