Walk Don't Run (1966 Charles Walters)

Set in the Tokyo 1964 Olympics, Cary Grant's final film is an old-fashioned affair in which he effectively matchmakes Jim Hutton with the fresh-faced Samantha Eggar, who's been mainly on TV and who's main credit is perhaps William Wyler's The Collector.

It's a sort of USA-Japan PR exercise.

Harry Stradling lights the sets high key.

Inoffensive but bland, like a ham sandwich with no mustard.
