A rich businessman (Cary Grant) and a young woman (Doris Day) are attracted to each other, but he only wants an affair while she wants to save her virginity for marriage.First of all, I loved the scene that may have been the inspiration for "She's All That". A secretary takes off her glasses, puts down her hair... and what happens? Absolutely nothing! Brilliant.Nothing terribly special about this film, but it is always a joy to see Cary Grant. He is generally quite a likable chap (even when he is being unlikable, as in "Father Goose"). And Doris Day is alright, too, even if she is strangely cast as someone 15 years younger...I would love to know how accurate the credit card computer room was. I have my doubts, but certainly in those days it was much more about punch cards than anything digital...

Unemployed Doris Day meets handsome millionaire Cary Grant and is instantly in love. He reciprocates the interest, if not the feelings. What he has in mind is one of those good old-fashioned "arrangements." You know -- why buy the cow when you can get the milk for a mink coat and a trip to Bermuda? Well, marriage-minded Doris is resistant at first but then finds herself agreeing to be his mistress or hoochie or whatever sophisticated types call such things. What follows is the expected comedy of Cary trying to get laid while Doris has cold feet.A sometimes amusing, sometimes sexy little romantic comedy. Aging Cary Grant is still as charming as ever. In lesser hands, this role would be pretty gross and hard to like. 'No spring chicken herself' Doris Day is a little older than I think the part called for. Actually, they both probably are. Doris does most of the heavy-lifting on the comedy end, with Cary more the straight man. Still, they have nice chemistry and work well off each other. Too bad the script isn't better. The writers seem to have only thought the story out up until the point Doris says yes to the arrangement. After that, things begin to fall apart. Helping things in the first half are the romantic comedy's old standby secret weapons: the best friends. Audrey Meadows for Doris, Gig Young for Cary. Both provide lots of laughs. John Astin is also funny as a creepy lech. Not a movie you'll regret missing but very watchable. Grant and Day fans will appreciate it most. The only movie where you'll see Cary Grant awkwardly sitting next to Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, and Roger Maris in the dugout of the New York Yankees while Doris Day argues with an umpire.

An out-of-work blonde beauty encounters a very wealthy diplomat and undergoes fears of re-loosing her virginity without the benefit of a wedding ring. It all starts when Cary Grant's car splatters Doris Day with mud, and his assistant Gig Young is drafted to apologize for him. Day demands that his boss apologize to her in person, but when she sees him, it is her doing the apologizing. Before she can break into "Que Sera Sera", he has her under her spell, and is making arrangements to fly her all over the world in an effort to seduce her. Day won't have any of that without a wedding ring and develops a rash in her nervous condition. Later, she tries to get over her fears by getting drunk before a planned seduction, but all she ends up with is an empty bottle used as a toe condom.In their only film together, Grant and Day make a good pair, but it is very apparent by a reference to Rock Hudson that Grant has taken over what may have been his part. As per usual in this period of his career, Grant gets a younger leading lady (Sophia Loren, Jayne Mansfield, Audrey Hepburn, and Leslie Caron were among the others), but his charm evaporates the age difference. There is a funny recurring gag involving Audrey Meadows (as Day's acerbic roommate) and Gig Young where Meadows, thinking that Young is the rogue out to deflower Ms. Day, keeps attacking him humorously, twice in a New York auto-mat (through the service window no less), and later in her apartment building. John Astin, as a sleazy unemployment center clerk, offers more laughs in his three scenes. "I've got TV dinners", he gleefully announces to the disgusted Ms. Day on their date. "We're having mackerel", he informs her before handing her a bottle of Muscatel. Meadows adds amusement in a role typical in most Doris Day films, having earlier been played by Eve Arden, Mary Wickes and Nancy Walker, and later by Rose Marie and Kaye Ballard on her TV series.An excellent screenplay, beautiful art direction and a stunning fashion show add to the film's charm. Ironically, this is one of the few films where Day does not sing at all, even over the credits.

Cary Grant is seen by many as the absolute epitome of genuine American bachelorhood. In Hollywood movies, his suave, debonair elegance is sought after by nearly all his co-stars. Thus, if you combine this extraordinary eligible individual with that sweet, innocent famous Girl-next-door, Doris Day, the end result is this Classic film from the early 1960's called " That Touch of Mink. " The story combines Philip Shayne an unmarried successful wall street millionaire (Cary Grant) who accidentally splashes Cathy Timberlake (Doris Day) with his car on on her way to an interview. Responsibly, he want to make it up to her, so he sends, his neurotic assistant Roger (Gig Young) to explain. Instead of accepting his apology, she angrily decides to meet him in person to vent her fury and therein begins a whirlwind affair which become more zanier with each scene. Audrey Meadows, plays Connie Emerson her best friend who gives her advice which is wasted on Shayne. The end result is a hilarious romp through the pathways of romance American style. A farcical, film of Love when it was still a challenge to find it among modern couples. Great film for anyone seeking the key to a successful courtship. ****
