Short description
Playboy songwriter Brad Allen's succession of romances annoys his neighbor, interior designer Jan Morrow, who shares a telephone party line with him and hears all his breezy routines. After Jan unsuccessfully lodges a complaint against him, Brad sets about to seduce her in the guise of a sincere and upstanding Texas rancher. When mutual friend Jonathan discovers that his best friend is moving in on the girl he desires, however, sparks fly.
What's left behind the scenes
- The character played by Tony Randall (1920-2004) slaps the heroine, Doris Day (1922-2019), in a diner, and a truck driver, played by John Indrisano (1905-1968), knocks him out with a punch to the jaw. In a subsequent interview, Randall recounted that he and Indrisano rehearsed the punch repeatedly, and that Indrisano assured him he would hit gently. When the camera started rolling, Indrisano misjudged the force of the blow and knocked Randall unconscious on the very first take.
- Rock Hudson refused offers to star in this film three times, believing its script was “too risqué.”
- The first scene filmed was the one near the end of the film, in which Rock Hudson carries Doris Day out of bed and through the streets of New York to his home. After filming several takes, the actor's arm muscles were already aching, and the director still wasn’t satisfied, so a kind of shoulder sling was devised for Hudson for this scene.
