Well done Cinemax(cable TV channel) for showing this wonderful movie!
Surely this must rank amongst the top romantic comedies of all time.
Brilliant performances from the super stars Doris Day and Rock Hudson, with equally brilliant support from the likes of Tony Randell and Thelma Ritter.
This picture is so good it had me laughing out loud constantly.
Everything about this film is perfect: the script, the acting, the music, the story, the lighting, music, costumes, titles et al.
Why is it that most movies of this type nowadays ain't a patch on this one?! And the movie industry should ask itself why it cannot find megastars as good as the cast in this picture.
The basic story line involves a shared phone line leading to deception and romance. The use of split screen portrayals is done marvelously. For example the two lovers talk romantically in separate bath-tubs in their different apartments the touching of each others feet is magically shown by the split screen.
One of my favorite scenes is where Rock Hudson in one of his deceptions, pretends he is gay, and of course later history reveals the irony of that.
I thought one of the best lines in the movie was when Thelma Ritter says in effect that one cannot tell a good bottle of wine from a mere sip.
All in all, top class entertainment:
10 out of 10.
