Description

Of Doris Day comedian-pianist Oscar Levant once observed I knew her before she was a virgin. Indeed playing a woman who always says no proved quite profitable for the wholesome singer in a series of light comedies in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Here in THAT TOUCH OF MINK she plays newly unemployed New York secretary Cathy Timberlake who meets handsome and wealthy business magnate Philip Shayne (Cary Grant) when his car accidentally splatters her dress with mud. Her annoyance about her dress is vapourized by his charm and she agrees to join him on a business trip to Baltimore. There they attend a baseball game which features amusing appearances by greats Mickey Mantle Roger Maris and Yogi Berra. They stop for drinks en route to New York where Philip impresses the young woman by giving a speech at the United Nations. Feeling that hes finally gotten past the necessary preliminaries he asks Cathy to accompany him to Bermuda where clearly he hopes the relationship will reach a new plateau. If one can accept the films outdated premise there are some truly amusing moments in this featherweight farce.
