Lack of good storyline.
TrueHello
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
Lucia Ayala
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

A rich businessman (Cary Grant) and a young woman (Doris Day) are attracted to each other, but he only wants an affair while she wants to save her virginity for marriage.First of all, I loved the scene that may have been the inspiration for "She's All That". A secretary takes off her glasses, puts down her hair... and what happens? Absolutely nothing! Brilliant.Nothing terribly special about this film, but it is always a joy to see Cary Grant. He is generally quite a likable chap (even when he is being unlikable, as in "Father Goose"). And Doris Day is alright, too, even if she is strangely cast as someone 15 years younger...I would love to know how accurate the credit card computer room was. I have my doubts, but certainly in those days it was much more about punch cards than anything digital...

THAT TOUCH OF MINK is a deliberately old-fashioned romantic comedy teaming up two of Hollywood's biggest genre stars, Doris Day and Cary Grant. They play the usual bickering twosome when they're brought together after Grant's car splashes Day during a rainstorm and he decides to make amends. What follows is entirely frivolous and completely unmemorable.Much of the story centres around Day's grating, all-too-wholesome character as she goes around shopping and the like. I wasn't really interested in these moments, but the scenes she shares with the naturally charismatic Grant are better. There are also a couple of decent characters in support, namely John Astin and Gig Young, but the emphasis is very much on putting across Day's carefully-manufactured image. I guess I'm completely the wrong demographic for this sort of picture.

. . . could be a line from a slasher flick, but the only horror here is a mysterious epidemic of "rashes." This puzzling aspect of THAT TOUCH OF MINK begins with Doris Day's "Miss Timberlake" character claiming to be "inhibited." But later--wink, wink--a joke is made about not Day's touch of mink, but the touch of her frequent on-screen fluids swapper, Real Life STD victim Rock Hudson. In between, her heartbreaking herpes outbreak halfway into TOUCH delays her baby until the final scene, immediately after tycoon Phil's own touch of herpes. TOUCH could have been the first movie titled FIFTY SHADES OF GREY, as the avuncular Cary Grant goes cradle-robbing with his graying temples, adorned mostly in gray suits. Miss Timberlake says at one point that she wishes that he had hit her, and Phil tells a guy from Detroit that he HAS punched her out. Add 40 years to "Christian Grey's" age and a Red Room, and SHADES becomes a remake of TOUCH.

at many other movies of period. the humor, few seductive scenes, sparkles of dialog and perfect cast are the best ingredients for a romantic comedy who use old victorious recipes. Carz Grant and Doris Day. that is all. because, far to be memorable, it is nice. in a special manner, with not bad jokes and with an easy story. like a spring rain. only entertainment and absurd situations but another proof about triumph of right cause in skin of war between sexes. the best part - the flavor of a lost age. the worst - impression than it is just another piece from a series game. but the charm of Grant, the sweetness of Daz are invincible. yesterday. and tomorrow. for each viewer in different way.
