That Touch of Mink (1962 Delbert Mann)

Doris Day falls for Cary Grant but doesn't want to sleep with him...So what? Get a suite with two rooms for Christ's sake. Surely attitudes were more advanced than this in 1962? Much toing and froing to Bermuda ensues, whilst Gig Young and Audrey Meadows fret about everything. It isn't very well written but scrapes by on star charisma.

Film doesn't need CinemaScope at all, unless for the sole purpose of showing the full length of a Boeing 747. Russell Metty lights some of his 'Bermuda' night scenes very colourfully.

John Feidler is in it briefly.
