The Lady Wants Mink is a 1953 American comedy film directed by William A. Seiter and written by Dane Lussier and Richard Alan Simmons.

The film stars Dennis O'Keefe, Ruth Hussey, Eve Arden, William Demarest, Gene Lockhart and Hope Emerson.

Nora Connors doesn't mind a bit, but Jim, a debt collector for a department store, becomes self-conscious about his income.

An off-hand remark by Gladys gives an idea to Nora to buy a couple of actual minks and bring them home.

Although the animals are caged, they create problems with neighbors and with the city, which wants assurances Nora is not starting a fur business.
