Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: At one point in the film, Jerry and Carol talk with an aquarium behind them, which holds a fish that is eaten by another as the scene ends. The "aquarium" is clearly just a short loop of film being played forwards and backwards in succession--the fish repeats the same two motions over and over until it is eaten. moreSoundtrack:

Doris Day-Rock Hudson romcom Lover Come Back reworks aspects of Pillow Talk in a plot that sees them as rival advertising execs fighting over the account for a non-existent product in a surprisingly and engagingly smutty satire that goes out of its way to mock the void between the two stars screen images and reality. Rock Hudson seems heroically determined to invite rumours by pretending to be unsure of his sexuality ("Just because you can light a stove doesn't mean you can cook") and even creeping back into his apartment wearing nothing more than a woman's fur coat ("He's the last guy I would have figured " notes one onlooker) while a somewhat sidelined Doris Day gets married as she's rushed into the delivery room. Along the way Tony Randall practically invents both of the Crane brothers and sets up about three seasons worth of plots for Frasier as his neurotic boss. Great fun.
