Review of That Touch of Mink (1962) by Melanie B — 16 Oct 2011
Cary Grant plays a rich businessman who becomes embroiled with yet another of Doris Day's "True Love Waits" characters. She has set her cap on marriage, whilst he's after something a little less binding.
Of course, you know how it's all going to end right from the start, but it's a pleasure watching stars like these at work, even if Cary Grant seems to be on autopilot. To be honest both he and Doris Day were getting a bit long in the tooth for this sort of thing.
They can't quite replicate the Day/Rock Hudson chemistry, try as they might. They do pretty well with a script that's as flat as Norfolk for much of the film. Gig Young, as Grant's advisor and alcoholic sidekick, gets the best lines.
