Its an old world romance

I haven't blogged for a while and i have nearly forgotten what happened in my little world for long.

But here i am back to sharing my little world.
Lots of olden day romance movies was what i watched for some time now.

Pillow talk (Rock Hudson and Doris day)

The charming old story of ladies man falling for the strict good lady. The romance between  two people sharing a common party phone line in the days were telephone was a pleasure, a charming tale.

Tony Randall was really funny.














Lover come back (Rock Hudson and Doris day)

They really make a good pair. The same tale as above in a different advertising world circumstances. Here Hudson and Day work for different ad agencies with conflicting approaches. How Hudson cheats by making ad's for a non-existent product and  Day tries to get the contract for the product. Tony Randall as the rich boss of Hudson was hilarious, a good romantic comedy.










A Touch of Mink (Doris day and Cary Grant)

Doris Day is the recently unemployed good girl who the world wants to turn into a bad girl. Cary Grant is the no-nonsense man of the world, whose car accidentally splashes dirty water over Day. Cary drives away and Day is furious. Cary spots her entering a luncheon from his office and send his executive (Gig Young) to meet and apologize to Day on his behalf. Gig the depressed executive of Cary wants Day to scold his boss in person, but they meet and situations turn. Romance blossoms and its a good time pass. Audrey Meadows as Doris Day's friend was very enjoyable.












Come September  (Rock Hudson and Gina Lollobrigida)

They make a dream pair and come september is a very enjoyable film with a great soundtrack.Hudson and Lollobrigida are couple who get together in September at Hudson's villa. However one September their plans go for a toss thanks to the villa manager (Walter Slezak) and the people who stay at hotel La Dolce Vista i.e the villa. Between the old pair and the young pair (Sandra Dee and Bobby Darin) its romantic fun.

It reminded me of so many movies in Hindi and Tamil i have watched before (obviously our people dont let go of a good inspiration, do they, " Love you Raja...", Anbe Vaa...)
