That Touch of Mink (1962) Reviews

This is the original Pretty woman story! If you loved Julia Roberts in Pretty woman, you will love this story. This movie is my favorite Doris Day and Cary Grant movie ever and favorite movie ever. It is just a funny love story about a simple girl and a rich guy. Love prevails!

Two of the greatest actors of all time. The Love, Honesty and Integrilty were kept in tact with the strong desire for two people of the opposite sex to be together. I have probably seen it 5 or 6 times because as a young man I was in love with Doris Day and Debbie Reynolds, just like everyone else.

One would expect a better performance from two of America's all-time favorites, Doris Day and Cary Grant. He seems to be going through the motions on this one. Young people will be fascinated by the Automat, the place where you deposit a quarter and get a freshly prepared sandwich from an actual person on the other side of the glass door. A server (Audrey Meadows) surreptitiously passes plate after plate through the passageway to Doris Day; it's about a 5 course meal. Grumpy Richard Deacon assesses her paycheck $1.16. Gig Young earns $50,000 to be Cary Grant's gopher. Day has her choice of the ugliest couture of the period, but somehow she manages to find a timeless black dress to woo Mr. Grant. If you like trips back in time, where hospital doctors actually come to you, phones have dials and a computer is as big as a small office, this movie is for you. NY Yankees cameos by Mantle, Maris and Berra will have to be explained any under 55.

Doris Day produced a ton of these shtick movies where she is always the all-American virgin, but this one, along with the Glass Bottom Boat are her two best. An enjoyable retro 60's movie to sit back and experience with your significant other.
