Storyline

- 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
In N. Y. C and unemployed secretary named Cathy Timberlake (Doris Day) is splashed with water and mud by a Rolls Royce on her way . Car owner is Philip , a rich businessman tycoon (Gary Grant) who asks her for apologies . Cathy then is involved on a journey to Bermudas Islands where several antics and mayhem happen in a game of cat and mouse.
This is a sex-comedy in which a sympathetic woman falls in love with a man not interested in marriage. Classic and light romantic comedy of the 60s with two comedy masters : Doris Day and Gary Grant , both of whom exhibiting considerable rapport even when they are arguing. Doris Day was probably the only Hollywood actress by the time who could have handled this brand of bright and simple comedy with kinks in such expert fashion. The film is one of the various starred by Doris Day during the 50s and 60s , such as : ¨Lover come back" , "Send me flowers" , "More over darling" , "Do not disturb", "Glass bottom boat" , "Do not distur¨ among others , with usual partners as Rock Hudson and other big stars as James Garner, Rod Taylor and Gary Grant himself . And appearing likeable secondaries : Gig Young , he's ever better than habitual as the inevitable sidekick of the starring , John Astin also scores as a man with a lugubrious leer and besides Dick Sargent (Bewitched) as a nervous husband justly married. The screenplay gets fun lines and amusing situations , being written by expert Stanley Shapiro (producer too) that enables the actors to make the most of themselves. Furthermore , it displays a colorful cinematography by Russell Metty and and lively musical score by George Duning. The motion picture was well directed by Delbert Mann (Separate tables, Desire under the Elms , Marty) . The flick will appeal to Gary Grant and Doris Day fans.
