Synopsis

Jerry Webster and Carol Templeton are both in the advertising business, but for different agencies. Annoyed by Jerry's methods of using alcohol and women to ensure contracts for his agency, Carol tries to get him thrown out of his profession. To avoid this Jerry bribes the girl who'd testify against him, by starring her in a TV commercial for a product named VIP that he's just made up. By accident these commercials are broadcasted and to keep his job, Jerry has to come up with VIP for which he enlists the help of Doctor Linus Tyler. Carol goes to see the Doctor to try and get the VIP account, but because she and Jerry have never met, she mistakes Jerry for the Doctor. Jerry then takes advantage of this situation to win her.

Critics' reviews

"One of the brightest, most delightful satiric comedies since 'It Happened One Night.'"

Bosley Crowther: The New York Times
"Perhaps the best Hudson-Day film."

TV Guide
"Saucy, sophisticated 1961 comedy."

Los Angeles Times
"One of the queasier Rock Hudson-Doris Day comedies."

Dave Kehr: Chicago Reader
"This is a funny, most-of-the-time engaging, smartly produced show"

Variety Staff: Variety
"Another glossy, witty battle-of-the-sexes comedy featuring the squeaky-clean Pillow Talk pairing of Rock Hudson and Doris Day"
