That Touch of Mink (1962)

A wholesome young woman gets swept into the world of the rich and famous when a romantic business tycoon falls in love with her simple country ways.

... Bermuda Expeditions

"The right frame for a Renoir" [Philip Shayne alias Cary Grant] of a special fineness and charm ... and under the shower only the rich dandy "eventually" discovered, that it is only him to tame the soaked lady - who, following the sayings about Adam & Eve, is better than apples - by finally hitching her up

A paddle, dreams of global journeys and vitreous bathtubs, utmost luxury as well as room number 9 are starting this "killing" and flirty love story with tumultuous surprises. The not recorded, however, all of a sudden very much alike 5th apocalyptic rider and feisty blonde Cathy Timberlake [Doris Day] as a convincingly attractive beauty queen beloved by men turns out to become a cracking revelation of it's funniest kind for a straightforward and by success badly spoiled women hunter to get used to.

Exciting dialogs, most bizarre confusions and highly gifted actors always will enchant us by this chaotic love story within simplest cinematic conditions and setups, a real pearl among comedies from the 1960th.

CLASSIC films

Doris Day made some many wonderfully fun films and I recall as a child watching these filsm and enjoying them just as I do today. These aren't suppose to be acclaimed films either, they are simple and fun stories. March 30, 2008

That Touch of Mink

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.

Great movie,poor quality

I love Doris Day and this movie is funny,entertaining and fun to watch. The only disappointment here is the dvd. The sound is mono and the quality is not the best, could have been better. That's why a give it a 2 for quality. I hope they give this movie a better treatment. I've seen older movies look and sound better than this. Great cover though. Now I wish they would give this movie that touch of mink. January 30, 2008
