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.
Pillow Talk (1959)
Directed by: Michael Gordon
Starring: Rock Hudson, Doris Day, Tony Randall, Thelma Ritter
Continuity mistake: During the split screen scene with Doris and Rock in the bath tubs, the amount of soap suds on Doris' foot and leg is less in the close ups than on the long shots.
Other mistake: If it was a party line why did Tony Randall get a busy signal when he was calling Doris Day from Rock Hudson's apartment?

Suggested correction: Dialing the number from a party line would get you a busy signal. If you wish to dial the other party you would dial a special code. In the movie it is 793.
Trivia: Doris Day received her only Oscar nomination for her role as Jan Morrow in this film.
Trivia: Rock Hudson turned the film down three times to begin with, as he felt the script was too risqué.
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.
Brad Allen: I've had hangovers before, but this time, even my hair hurts.
Alma: If there's anything worse than a woman living alone, it's a woman saying she likes it.
