It's the delightful romantic comedy that started it all!

Rock Hudson and Doris Day, two of the screen's most popular and enduring stars, are together for the very first time!

When Jan Marrow (Day), uptight interior decorator, is forced to share a party line with an carefree playboy Brad Allen (Hudson), there's no connection between them. But when the two accidentally meet, the smitten Brad pretends to be a wealthy Texan, wooing Jan with seductive late-night calls. Their phone line is sizzling until Jan discovers her caller's true identity and calls his bluff. Winner of an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, this delicious romp co-stars Tony Randall and Thelma Ritter....
