DVD Reviews of That Touch of Mink
DVD Review: DORIS! DORIS! DORIS!
Summary: 4 Stars
This is yet another Doris Day movie, made during that fruitful period between "Pillow Talk" and "Send Me No Flowers", that broke with the established formula of 'Married to Garner/Chased By Hudson', whereas they found another well-known leading man to star with Do-Do other than her two perennials. Cary Grant, Mr. Charisma himself, stars as the romantic lead in a tale that would have MAYBE suited Hudson, since Grant chases her for most of the movie, (actually, they chase each other throughout the film, and Doris' ROOMMATE, played by Audrey Meadows, is the one who hates him before she realizes who he is, not Doris herself, who falls in love with him on first glance,) and they end up getting married in the end.
It all starts when Grant, who plays a very well-heeled captain of industry, splashes unemployed working girl Doris one morning with his Rolls Royce Silver Cloud. He immediately feels a small pang of guilt and sends his man Friday, played by Gig Young, rather than Tony Randall, to apologize and make restitution for her soiled clothes. The Gig Young character is immediately met with protective hostility by the roommate, but he eventually does hook up with Do-Do, playing a character named Cathy Timberlake, as she dines at a Horn & Hardart's Automat where her roomie works. She meets Grant, playing a Mr. Shayne, head of a large company that buys up other companies, and they proceed to charm the pants off of each other (almost!)
There is one scene, as the movies develops, during their second trip to the Caribbean, where Doris resolves not to get nervous like she did on their first trip down there, (where she developed a comical nervous rash,) and proceeds to drink herself blotto. Grant drops everything to be there with her, and finds her lying on their fourposter soused to the gills, with a whiskey bottle hanging off of her right big toe. Doris greets him with a shrill, drunken "Hi!" and waves at him with the whiskey bottle-ensconced big toe. It has to be one of the funniest scenes in rom-com history.
It's little touches like that that made Doris' movies between 1959 and 1963 so great! Some of the best writing, acting and directing in film comedy was employed during these movies, making them classics of family entertainment and we may never see their like again....and you can rest assured that every present-day rom-com that DOES work is probably utilizing a rethink of any number of gags used in Doris' better movies from this period in her career.
She was the most profitable film actress during this era for SOME reason, and trust me, it's easy to see why!
