Corrected entry: Doris Day and Rock Hudson share a party line. Tony Randall (a mutual friend of the two) is at Rock Hudson's apartment trying to get Doris Day on the telephone but keeps getting a busy signal, meaning she's using the phone. The mistake is if they're sharing a party line Tony Randall should hear her voice when he first picks up the phone.
Pillow Talk (1959)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Michael Gordon
Starring: Rock Hudson, Doris Day, Tony Randall, Thelma Ritter
Revealing mistake: Rock Hudson angrily picks up Doris Day from her bed, blanket and all, and carries her through town to his apartment. When he is walking down the sidewalk, the blanket slips and the supporting wooden board underneath Doris Day is visible. This made carrying her easier.
Jan: Mr. Allen, this may come as a surprise to you, but there are some men who don't end every sentence with a proposition.
Trivia: Doris Day received her only Oscar nomination for her role as Jan Morrow in this film.

Correction: Tony Randall is getting a busy signal but it is not because she is on the phone. It is because in order for two people who share a party line to reach each other, they need to dial a code. If they don't they will receive a busy signal. Rock Hudson's character says for Doris Day to use the code if she wants to complain to him directly.
