That Touch of Mink

That Touch of Mink is a 1962 American romantic comedy film directed by Delbert Mann, and starring Cary Grant, Doris Day, Gig Young and Audrey Meadows.

In a minor subplot, Philip's financial manager, Roger, sees a therapist to discuss his guilt about helping his boss with numerous sexual conquests—including Cathy.

Philip wines and dines Cathy nightly, even spending one date at a Yankees game, sharing the dugout with Roger Maris, Mickey Mantle, and Yogi Berra.

Later, a second Bermuda trip is attempted, but this time Cathy drinks whiskey to soothe her nerves and winds up intoxicated, falling off the hotel balcony onto an awning below.

[citation needed] In her autobiography, Doris Day wrote that Cary Grant was very professional and exacting with details, helping her with her wardrobe choices for the film and decorating the library set with his own books from home.

[citation needed] A news item in the July 20, 1961 Daily Variety noted that Cary Grant had "telephoned the French automotive company, Citroën, to order a new car for use in the film.

[7] The Daily Variety film review on May 9, 1962, noted "The gloss of That Touch of Mink, however, doesn't obscure an essentially threadbare lining," while "Miss Day...certifies herself an adept farceur with this outing.

"[8] Critic Emanuel Levy notes that "Day performs with some charm her familiar type, the world’s oldest virgin, a professional who demands to be treated with respect and doesn’t believe in living in sin; legit marriage and wedding ring should come before sex.

Just watch the horror on her face, when she notices a single bed in Philip’s Bermuda suite"[9] The Movie Channel notes "They look dated, silly, even prudish to us today, but back in the late 50s and early 60s, Doris Day starred in a series of comedies built around the question of will she or won't she have sex with him?
