Movie Info

When people refer to Doris Day as "the world's oldest professional virgin," they generally have the 1962 comedy That Touch of Mink in mind. It isn't that Cathy Timberlake (Day) is above a bit of hanky-panky; it's just that she wants such tangibles as a marriage license and wedding ring first. Thus, when playboy businessman Philip Shayne (Cary Grant) begins actively pursuing Cathy (they "met cute" when Philip's limo splashed mud on the hapless Cathy), she won't say "I will" until he says "I do."

Unrated, 1 hr. 39 min.

A cutesy boy meets girl romantic comedy flatly directed by Delbert Mann.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews

Slightly smarmy romantic comedy that never quite jells.

"a true antique with Doris and Cary sparring winningly"

This is a nice romantic comedy with good actors, and some funny moments, but overall not that great a movie, it's predictable and not Grant's best. It's an okay movie, though.

Kinda sweet. Doris Day manages to not be too much of a prude in this quirky romance.
