Pillow Talk (1959)

As you probably know by now, MOVIES ARE GAY. While this movie doesn’t necessarily have a lot of gay subtext, it does star Rock Hudson The hunky Hollywood star who lived a closeted Hollywood life and sadly passed away of AIDS in the mid 80s. We reflect upon the late movie star and analyze his first hit film with close friend and on-screen partner Doris Day in Michael Gordon’s 1959 romantic comedy “Pillow Talk”. The duo have plenty of charm and there’s even an ironic gay reference along with an absolutely horrid original song sung by Doris Day that is truly obnoxious. The song didn’t even chart but this movie made gobs of money. By modern standards this movie made around 190 million. About 18x over its budget. Tony Randall is also in it and why the hell isn’t that diner scene readily available on YouTube as a clip? It’s weird as hell. He slaps Doris Day and gets punched in the face. Rock Hudson is gay therefore this movie is gay. Just go with it.
