Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn her autobiography, Doris Day wrote: "Of all the people I performed with, I got to know Cary Grant least of all. He is a completely private person, totally reserved, and there is no way into him. Our relationship on That Touch of Mink (1962) was amicable but devoid of give-and-take...Not that he wasn't friendly and polite - he certainly was. But distant. Very distant. But very professional - maybe the most professional, exacting actor I ever worked with. In the scenes we played, he concerned himself with every little detail: clothes, sets, production values, the works. Cary even got involved in helping to choose the kind of mink I was slated to wear in the film."
- GoofsWhen Shayne and Roger are talking in the office, Shayne is drinking from a teacup. The camera angle is from behind Shayne's right shoulder, and, as he raises the cup, it can be seen that the cup is empty.
- Quotes
Philip Shayne: Why would she go away with someone like that?
Roger: Who knows? He's a man and she's a woman.
Philip Shayne: That's the most dangerous combination to turn loose in a motel.

Featured review
"The Baron von Richthofen of the boudoir shot down over Bermuda!"
Unemployed Doris Day meets handsome millionaire Cary Grant and is instantly in love. He reciprocates the interest, if not the feelings. What he has in mind is one of those good old-fashioned "arrangements." You know -- why buy the cow when you can get the milk for a mink coat and a trip to Bermuda? Well, marriage-minded Doris is resistant at first but then finds herself agreeing to be his mistress or hoochie or whatever sophisticated types call such things. What follows is the expected comedy of Cary trying to get laid while Doris has cold feet.
A sometimes amusing, sometimes sexy little romantic comedy. Aging Cary Grant is still as charming as ever. In lesser hands, this role would be pretty gross and hard to like. 'No spring chicken herself' Doris Day is a little older than I think the part called for. Actually, they both probably are. Doris does most of the heavy-lifting on the comedy end, with Cary more the straight man. Still, they have nice chemistry and work well off each other. Too bad the script isn't better. The writers seem to have only thought the story out up until the point Doris says yes to the arrangement. After that, things begin to fall apart. Helping things in the first half are the romantic comedy's old standby secret weapons: the best friends. Audrey Meadows for Doris, Gig Young for Cary. Both provide lots of laughs. John Astin is also funny as a creepy lech.
Not a movie you'll regret missing but very watchable. Grant and Day fans will appreciate it most. The only movie where you'll see Cary Grant awkwardly sitting next to Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, and Roger Maris in the dugout of the New York Yankees while Doris Day argues with an umpire.
