Most helpful review That Touch Of Mink

  • Bad film but still pleasurable in parts.

    Rated - 3.0 stars

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    Having already watched this film on daytime TV some years back I was wondering why I chose to give it another viewing, but the reason soon became apparent when I sat down to watch it again. While Grant and Day nibble through their wince inducing dialogue, Gig Young (As Rodger) turns in a rather fine and humerous performance as Grant's financial advisor. His character is the only reason I decided to rate this film any higher than one star.

    I'm a fan of Cary Grant, but here he seems to be ill at ease - his character is not even that likable. If anyone could have pulled of this type of character it would be Grant, but here even he fails miserably. Day's character is not much better, but atleast we have a little fun with her.

    There's a reference to Rock Hudson in the film which is obviously a nod to the many similar films he and Day did together, and if you are into this type of movie, you'd be better off watching them instead.

    Yes, that's all true the other critics are right in what they say but, this is the gorgeous Doris and the fabulous Cary in the days when people had style and class and I loved it.

    Sorry, Doris, but you're past your best here. So is the the dialogue i'm afraid. Most of our Dor's films pass the test of time, and we can indulge a Sunday afternoon with choccies enjoying them. Not this one tho'; has a reference to wife-beating (she invites it!) and Cary's charm sisadly lacking as he's more cave-man than new-man. Best left alone.

    Strange that this film was made only a few years before the Beatles hit America. It looks exceptionally ridiculous now (Doris Day plays a woman so terrified by sex that she breaks out in hives at one point), and probably looked about the same then. But, charming performances by Day, Grant and Gig Young make it at least worth a look. Quite frankly, the best performance I think was given by John Astin, several years before he became Gomez Addams, as the slimy clerk. Worth it if you're a fan of any of the leads, but may leave a bad taste in mouths of feminists...if you take the initially ludicrous premise seriously.
