 wish they would make more movies like this January 12, 2004

I don't know if I have ever seen a movie with Doris Day in it that I didn't like and this is no exception. Doris plays an out of work, girl next door, character, Cary Grant, a millionaire, Gig Young works for Cary and Audrey Meadows is her room-mate and friend. Because the car that Cary was riding in accidently splashes water on Doris, Cary sends Gig to apologize and then when Gig sees her reaction he thinks that finally here is a girl that will put his boss in his place and encourages her to go tell Cary how she feels. It backfires, and Doris falls for Cary, but being a modest moral female, when he proposes that she come with him on a trip that doesn't include marriage, she has misgivings. She decides to go finally, but then develops a rash at the thought of doing the immoral act and then it keeps getting funnier. Gig Young and Audrey Meadows are really great in the movie also. I recommend the movie. Enjoy!
Deflowering Doris Day March 2, 2005

Doris Day's day starts off badly when she is drenched by a passing limo. She gets angry but does not know the limo passenger (Cary Grant) feels bad and wishes to make amends. Later Grant spots Day from his office and sends Gig Young to make sure she is all right and taken care of. Day's roommate (Audrey Meadows) is her self-appointed protector of her virtue.
Things quickly move forward when Grant and Day first meet face to face and fall in love. Small-town Day is not sure what to make of millionaire Grant at first as he tries to whirl her off her feet. It is obvious that Grant is trying for more than Day is willing to give out (at least at this stage) and events unfold hilariously.
The plot twists and situations would be at home in a Frank Capra movie. The dialogue is snappy and full of innuendo. Day's character even has far more depth than Meadows suspects. Although she comes from upstate New York, she manages to hold her own both against and with Grant. It all culminates wonderfully in a way few comedies manage. A must see for fans of classic stars and comedies.

Doris Day and Cary Grant shine in this exceptional classic. He plays a millionaire, and she an innocent out of work mess. When the car Cary is riding in splashes her clothes, they meet and a comedy of errors follows. The locations like Bermuda were wonderful choices for Day's fall from grace.
No one can compare to a Doris and Cary pairing, but Gig Young and Audrey Meadows compliment them well. Gig Young steals scenes on many occasions. It was also very nice to see some the Yankee players that are part of history.
You can't go wrong with Grant or Day in a movie! October 8, 2005

This is the must-see Romantic Comedy of the early 1960's. With Doris Day playing the part of an out-of-work, girl-next-door, who gets splashed in the street by a very well-to-do man in his car, played by Cary Grant. As the story unfolds, Phillip (Grant) tries to apologize to Cathy (Day) by offering to buy her a new dress, which she promptly turns down saying "Money doesn't buy good manners." Upon arrival at Phillips office, instead of throwing the money back in his face, Cathy falls for Phillip and is immediately whisked away on a private jet with Phillip to a board meeting, a UN speech, and ends the day by attending a baseball game. Phillip, who is totally smitten with Cathy, ask her to go away with him for the weekend to the Bahamas! What follows is a hilarious sequence of events in which Cathy begins having second thoughts about her weekend with Phillip. For Phillip, the weekend proves to be more trouble for him than it is relaxing. All in all this movie proves to be a very funny and entertaining love story, with Grant's endearing personality and Day's graceful charm.
A delightful and witty sex comedy October 14, 2003

"That Touch of Mink," directed by Delbert Mann, is a delicious 60's sex comedy about the romantic duel between Cathy Timberlake (played by Doris Day), an unemployed working girl with small-town roots, and Philip Shane (Cary Grant), a rich businessman. Along for the ride are Audrey Meadows as Cathy's fiercely protective roommate Connie and Gig Young as Philip's wisecracking employee Roger."That Touch" is absolutely hilarious and delightful from start to finish. Day is irresistible--wholesome and innocent, yet feisty. Grant is charming and funny. Meadows and Young get lots of comic mileage out of their marvelous supporting roles. The film is also a joy to look out. The sets and costumes are marvelous (there's even a fashion show); the screen bursts with color. The script combines witty dialogue, zesty social satire and goofy physical comedy with a cleverly structured plot. There are also some fun cameos by recognizable faces--I won't spoil the fun by revealing them. And it's all nicely complemented by a playful musical score. "That Touch" is one comic battle of the sexes that really holds up after all these years.
