Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Edgar Allan Pooh . . . could be a line from a slasher flick, but the only horror here is a mysterious epidemic of "rashes." This puzzling aspect of THAT TOUCH OF MINK begins with Doris Day's "Miss Timberlake" character claiming to be "inhibited." But later--wink, wink--a joke is made about not Day's touch of mink, but the touch of her frequent on-screen fluids swapper, Real Life STD victim Rock Hudson. In between, her heartbreaking herpes outbreak halfway into TOUCH delays her baby until the final scene, immediately after tycoon Phil's own touch of herpes. TOUCH could have been the first movie titled FIFTY SHADES OF GREY, as the avuncular Cary Grant goes cradle-robbing with his graying temples, adorned mostly in gray suits. Miss Timberlake says at one point that she wishes that he had hit her, and Phil tells a guy from Detroit that he HAS punched her out. Add 40 years to "Christian Grey's" age and a Red Room, and SHADES becomes a remake of TOUCH.

Gideon24 A movie idea that looked good on paper but lost something in its translation to the screen was the 1962 comedy That Touch of Mink.The film starred a glamorously aging Cary Grant as Phillip Shayne, a wealthy businessman whose limo splashes the coat and dress of a woman on a rainy street one day. Shayne has his assistant track the woman down so that he can pay for the dry cleaning. The woman is a working girl named Cathy Timberlake (Doris Day) who is attracted to Shayne, but it is soon revealed that Grant wants to have a fling with the woman and she is saving herself for marriage.This return to Pillow Talk territory is not nearly as successful due to the fact that there is NO chemistry between the leads and to Day's unappealing character...it was just a little too hard to swallow Cathy's naivety about what Shayne wanted from her and the idea that every time Cathy comes close to having sex with Shayne she breaks out in hives, was just silly.There is a solid supporting cast including Gig Young as Shayne's assistant and Audrey Meadows as Cathy's best friend, but a comedy like this pins a great deal on the chemistry between the stars and it just wasn't there.

Claudio Carvalho While going to receive her unemployment paycheck and to a job interview later, the coat of the naive Cathy Timberlake (Doris Day) is splashed with mud by the Rolls Royce of the millionaire businessman Philip Shayne (Cary Grant). Later he sees her going to have lunch from his office and sends his financial adviser Roger (Gig Young) to give some money to Cathy to compensate her loss. Cathy feels offended with the offer and she goes to Philip's office with the intention of throwing the money on his face. However, when she sees the handsome Philip, she immediately falls in love with him. They date and Cathy expects that Philip proposes to marry her, but he does not have this intention. "That Touch of Mink" is a silly and naive but funny romantic comedy. The premise is dumb and is irritating to see Cathy buying expensive clothing and traveling to Bermudas with a playboy expecting to give nothing in return. But the comedy has many funny situations, like the just married couple in the motel or Roger being mistakenly taken as Philip in Cathy's apartment building. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "Carícias de Luxo" ("Caresses of Luxury")

vincentlynch-moonoi The first time I watched and reviewed this film, I guess I must have been in a bad mood. I only gave the film a "6", and I wrote: "I understand that Cary Grant was not pleased with this film. I concur. It's a rare Cary Grant film that I don't like. This is one of them. Throughout the film I kept thinking that what this film needed was Rock Hudson...which is saying a lot since I feel Cary Grant is the best film star in history, and that Rock Hudson was just a good actor. I adore Grant and usually enjoyed Doris Day, but there was no chemistry between the two. Not to mention that both seemed a bit too old for the roles they played here. Gig Young's role and dialog were just plain stupid. I'm trying to think of something redeeming about this film. Well, perhaps Audrey Meadows, who was perfect for her role as a cynic. Someone thought that Cary Grant's sophistication could carry this film. It didn't. Not one for the DVD shelf, but perhaps worth watching...once."Tonight I re-watched the film and came away with a fairly more positive impression.1. I rather liked the film, though it was definitely not one of Grant's best efforts. I still feel that Rock Hudson might have been a better lead. 2. Tonight I saw the chemistry, and I'm not so sure younger actors were needed. 3. I still think Gig Young's role and dialog were just plain stupid. 4. Audrey Meadows is still darned good here. 5. Grant's sophistication, and Doris' spunkiness do carry the film.So, do take a watch. It's pretty decent...but it still won't end up on my DVD shelf.
