Anne, the name of the movie is "Pillow Talk", which also starred Rock Hudson.

This is a great movie and I'm glad that so many of you recognized that. I really enjoyed the dialogue and the acting in "Letter to Three Wives," which had so many actors in it who I've enjoyed watching in quite a few of their other movies. I enjoyed Jeanne Crain in films like "Cheaper by the Dozen", "Pinky", among others. The beautiful Linda Darnell in "Zorro", and "Blood and Sand", co-starring in both with Tyrone Power. Kirk Douglas was great in this and so many other films in the '40s, '50s and '60s. I always liked Paul Douglas who, I believe, started his movie career when he was older (40s?) and died at a relatively young age (late 50s?) from a heart attack. I liked him in the original "Angels in the Outfield", "It Happens Every Spring" (another baseball comedy co-starring Ray Milland), and "The Solid Gold Caddillac" (co-starring Judy Holliday). Thelma Ritter was wonderful and stood out in every movie that I've seen her in, especially Hitchcock's "Rear Window", "All About Eve", "Miracle on 34th Street", "Birdman of Alcatraz", and several more. One of the best character/supporting actresses ever.

Yes, a real sleeper that too many people are unaware of. Had the pleasure of meeting Linda Darnell and Jeanne Crain years after this film. Both were really nice ladies.
I've watched this movie about fifty times and still enjoy it.

Always been one of my favorites, and I am delighted to see that I am not alone. This film introduced me to Thelma Ritter, and I was a fan of hers from that moment on. Can anyone tell me the name of the Doris Day flick in which Thelma Ritter played a housekeeper, who was always drunk getting off the fast-moving elevator. Drama or comedy, Thelma Ritter couldn't be beaten as the wise-cracking supporting player.

This is a terrific movie and Linda Darnell really could act. I remember thinking during the movie, don't let it be Deborah's husband because I really felt for her. She was so sweet.

An excellent film, with an ending to keep you interested to the final shots. Great acting through out, especially by Paul Douglas and Thelma Ritter. I thought Jeanne Crain was very good as well. While not greatly remembered today it was highly regarded when it came out. Perhaps "All about Eve" overshadowed it, but in many ways "Letter" was a better film.

I agree that this is a great film... I watch it whenever it is shown. I can't wait to get it.
Other films that I think are not well known, but still great pix... A Stolen Life with Bette Davis.
She plays twins in this film. The other great film that I love is Tender Comrade with Ginger Rogers. These are rare and had to find!
Thanks for the write-up!

As good as it gets. My favorite. My daughter in-law told me about it. Didn't have the heart to tell her I knew of the movie. Still holds the interest of the younger set. Good writing, directing and acting always lasts thru test of time.

So glad this site "found me". I love the oldies and am eagerly awaiting the release on dvd of "Margie" starring the beautiful and underrated Jeanne Crain. I love "A Letter to Three Wives" too and watch it every month !

A great film and all actors shine. I have always been a fan of Jeanne Crain and feel her talents have been neglected. Whe was terrific in "Leave Her to Heaven."
