That Touch Of Mink
That Touch of Mink is an enchanting romantic comedy featuring wonderful performances from Hollywood favourites Cary Grant and Doris Day. How much should a girl sacrifice to get the man of her dreams? That's the question facing an innocent country girl (Doris Day), who is swept into the whirlwind of the rich and famous when a Rolls Royce splashes her with mud. Profound apologies come courtesy of a romantic business tycoon (Cary Grant) who becomes enchanted with the girl's simple, direct manner and open, honest heart. But he's not interested in marriage... and she's never been interested in anything else.

A very popular Doris Day vehicle from her post-Pillow Talk second coming, in which she co-stars with Cary Grant. The movie only works if you accept that Day won't sleep with Grant, which might have made sense back in 1962 (the year before the Beatles) but hardly makes any sense at all now: after all, these are two of the best-looking and most sophisticated people in the world. But that's the plot — will she or won't she, and we know she won't. This is quintessential Day fluff, complete with quite unnecessary heavily-gauzed close-ups, and Grant can barely disguise the fact that he's getting a little too long in the tooth for such foolishness. Still, there's much charm, and if you accept the premise, this is a lot of fun.

Jaded sex comedy (or what passed for it in nudge-nudge 1962) enlivened by practised star performances and smart timing.

Bad film but still pleasurable in parts.
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. -
