synopsis

The numerous romantic escapades of Brad Allen, a composer and playboy, annoy his neighbor, Jan Morrow, an interior decorator who shares a party telephone line with him and overhears all his flirtatious conversations. After Jan, who has never seen Brad, unsuccessfully files a complaint against him, Brad decides to seduce her by pretending to be a sincere and honest Texan rancher…

It’s the perfect first-date movie: It’s flirty and romantic and a little bit saucy, but it leaves viewers with just a peck on the cheek at the end of the night.

Doris Day & Rock Hudson

The most exciting thing about it is that, under the surprisingly sophisticated direction of Michael Gordon, Rock Hudson undergoes the metamorphosis from stock leading man to one of the best light comedians in the business. 

The Hollywood Reporter

The zippy title song and the match of Rock’s granite jaw with Doris’ equally solid hairstyle are as representative of 1959 mainstream style as finned cars and kidney-shaped coffee tables. Now, Doris Day’s films look smart again, and we can see that 'Sex And The City' or most Julia Roberts/Cameron Diaz movies basically rework the successful recipe of Day’s best vehicles.
