That Touch of Mink (1962)

8/10

watchitman3 June 2002

Very cute movie. It was very enjoyable and put a smile on my face. It's obviously a bit dated, I doubt there are many young, independant working women that swoon over losing their virginity these days. I even doubt it was quite like that back in 1962. It's still very sweet and it would make a good date movie.

I should also mention the movie looks beautiful. Movies from this era tend to look great. The quality of production in movies seriously declined the closer Hollywood got to the 70's.

While I'm far too old to be an ageist, this film would be funny & entertaining if---

zacdawac6 January 2021

This was probably the fourth or fifth early sixties sexual innuendo comedy that I've caught up on during the 2020, now 2021 pandemic. By caught up, I mean I've been trying to screen one film a night, that I've been meaning to watch for years, from my eight thousand plus video collection. The script was funny, the actors were good and the direction was fine. I just had a couple of problems.

Cary Grant was an entity onto himself in not less than ten brilliant, classic comedies of the late thirties and early forties. He was a suave middle aged leading man in Hitchcock suspense films of the forties and fifties. By the early sixties, while he was still sophisticated and sharp, he didn't quite have it as the romantic comedy Lothario. And Doris Day, at age forty, while still quite beautiful, charming and witty, didn't convince me that she was the nervous, starry eyed young virgin who was living the lifestyle of a twenty two year old, trying to find herself.

The original idea for the Mary Tyler Moore show had Mary Richards newly divorced and starting over in a new city. They decided to change it and have her fresh out of a long term relationship. She was thirty years old and they knew the idea that she was still a naive virgin wouldn't quite fly. If Doris' character in this one was divorced from the only man she'd ever been with, and nervous and anxious with someone new, it would have worked for me. A forty year old woman, living in a tiny apartment with a roommate, working at temp jobs and staying in a room with a man for the first time was less than credible. Yes, women like this exist and I've met them. They're usually not the type that a suave billionaire playboy who looks like Cary Grant would do an immediate backflip over.

Okay, now I sound like a sexist and an ageist. The fact is, a forty year old virgin, male or female, isn't usually the most sought after partner in New York. To leave on a positive note, Audrey Meadows was perfectly cast as the wise and cynical best friend. I wish she had done more films but I guess I should be happy that Alice Kramden is forever a part of my DNA.

The Only Doris Day - Cary Grant Film...and the Only One to Answer a Sports Trivia Question

theowinthrop1 June 2006

Warning: Spoilers

Question: Name the film where Art Passarella, famous baseball umpire, tosses out five celebrities from a game.

Answer: THAT TOUCH OF MINK. Passarella tosses out Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris, Yogi Berra, Cary Grant, and Doris Day from a game, because of some rule infraction caused by Day (who is in the dugout with the others during a game), and then for escalating reasons in which the three Yankees deny any infraction.

The reason Doris and Cary are in the dugout is that they are attending a Yankee Game (Cary has some stock in the Yankees - this film was in the period before George Steinbrenner took control of the baseball team.

Grant is a multi-millionaire whose limousine has damaged Days' clothing by spraying her when the car went through a puddle. He (at first) just wants to repair the damage but he slowly falls for her. But Day is acting like ... well like Day usually does; She is a NYC career woman, and does not want to be the victim of hanky-panky from any man. She is egged on in this by her closest friend, Audrey Meadows. Grant slowly uses his considerable economic muscles to get Day to agree to a trip to the Caribbean, but he finds having her there is not the same thing as getting to know her physically there.

This film is loaded with nice bits by the supporting players. One of the other reviews points out John Astin as an obnoxious suitor for Day, whom (at the end) she does willingly go out to a motel in New Jersey with, only to have him fail to score when Grant shows up. But also see this for Gig Young, as Grant's secretary, who finds that Grant's effortless economic and social success are undermining Young's delicate mental balance. See it too for Alan Hewitt, as Young's therapist, who finds that it really pays to have Young as a client (because of all the great stock market tips the naive secretary blabs to the Doctor). Their last moment on screen together is quite funny, when Young is gushing over the baby he is watching (actually Grant and Day's child) and Hewitt is momentarily left thinking that somehow Young and Grant had a baby together. Finally, the late John Fiedler has a good moment as a newlywed husband who concludes that a man's best friend is his mother.

An easy to take Day sex romp, I recommend it for the amusement it generates. The baseball trivia connection is also a reason (though a minor one) to watch the film at least once.

Give this one a chance - you might just enjoy it.

Lee B17 October 1999

This is a movie that I can enjoy watching over and over again, and every time there's something new to notice. It would be a difficult movie to re-make today, morality having changed the way it has, but as a slice of history, it works well. The script is really well-written, with some great one-liners and sharp dialogue, and who can resist Cary Grant? A hot drink, a plate of cookies, and "That Touch of Mink" add up to a very pleasant way to pass an evening.

Quite funny

celebes7 April 2007

A surprisingly funny film with some very good comedic performances. In particular, a wonderfully, gleefully neurotic Gig Young as Cary Grant's secretary. Love the scene when he asks his secretary to let down her hair and then take off her glasses. She remains unattractive. "Funny, he says, it always works in the movies." And what a great and bizarre first name Gig is.

Audrey Meadows is very good as well, as Doris Day's cynical roommate, and John Astin (of "The Addams Family" fame) nearly steals the show as a smarmy Government clerk. "Muscatel, for my lady's pleasure." Sure the plot is dated and predictable, but everything is handled with a light touch and the movie is very watchable. Love the scenes in the automat simply for nostaglia's sake.

Funniest moment. Gig young getting slapped by a hand that emerges from the tiny automat window.

Silly, Naive but Funny

claudio_carvalho19 April 2014

While going to receive her unemployment paycheck and to a job interview later, the coat of the naive Cathy Timberlake (Doris Day) is splashed with mud by the Rolls Royce of the millionaire businessman Philip Shayne (Cary Grant). Later he sees her going to have lunch from his office and sends his financial adviser Roger (Gig Young) to give some money to Cathy to compensate her loss. Cathy feels offended with the offer and she goes to Philip's office with the intention of throwing the money on his face. However, when she sees the handsome Philip, she immediately falls in love with him. They date and Cathy expects that Philip proposes to marry her, but he does not have this intention.

"That Touch of Mink" is a silly and naive but funny romantic comedy. The premise is dumb and is irritating to see Cathy buying expensive clothing and traveling to Bermudas with a playboy expecting to give nothing in return. But the comedy has many funny situations, like the just married couple in the motel or Roger being mistakenly taken as Philip in Cathy's apartment building. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "Carícias de Luxo" ("Caresses of Luxury")

Somewhat watchable despite a lack of chemistry between the stars.

Gideon2414 April 2015

Warning: Spoilers

A movie idea that looked good on paper but lost something in its translation to the screen was the 1962 comedy That Touch of Mink.

The film starred a glamorously aging Cary Grant as Phillip Shayne, a wealthy businessman whose limo splashes the coat and dress of a woman on a rainy street one day. Shayne has his assistant track the woman down so that he can pay for the dry cleaning. The woman is a working girl named Cathy Timberlake (Doris Day) who is attracted to Shayne, but it is soon revealed that Grant wants to have a fling with the woman and she is saving herself for marriage.

This return to Pillow Talk territory is not nearly as successful due to the fact that there is NO chemistry between the leads and to Day's unappealing character...it was just a little too hard to swallow Cathy's naivety about what Shayne wanted from her and the idea that every time Cathy comes close to having sex with Shayne she breaks out in hives, was just silly.

There is a solid supporting cast including Gig Young as Shayne's assistant and Audrey Meadows as Cathy's best friend, but a comedy like this pins a great deal on the chemistry between the stars and it just wasn't there.

"The Baron von Richthofen of the boudoir shot down over Bermuda!"

utgard148 December 2014

Unemployed Doris Day meets handsome millionaire Cary Grant and is instantly in love. He reciprocates the interest, if not the feelings. What he has in mind is one of those good old-fashioned "arrangements." You know -- why buy the cow when you can get the milk for a mink coat and a trip to Bermuda? Well, marriage-minded Doris is resistant at first but then finds herself agreeing to be his mistress or hoochie or whatever sophisticated types call such things. What follows is the expected comedy of Cary trying to get laid while Doris has cold feet.

A sometimes amusing, sometimes sexy little romantic comedy. Aging Cary Grant is still as charming as ever. In lesser hands, this role would be pretty gross and hard to like. 'No spring chicken herself' Doris Day is a little older than I think the part called for. Actually, they both probably are. Doris does most of the heavy-lifting on the comedy end, with Cary more the straight man. Still, they have nice chemistry and work well off each other. Too bad the script isn't better. The writers seem to have only thought the story out up until the point Doris says yes to the arrangement. After that, things begin to fall apart. Helping things in the first half are the romantic comedy's old standby secret weapons: the best friends. Audrey Meadows for Doris, Gig Young for Cary. Both provide lots of laughs. John Astin is also funny as a creepy lech.

Not a movie you'll regret missing but very watchable. Grant and Day fans will appreciate it most. The only movie where you'll see Cary Grant awkwardly sitting next to Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, and Roger Maris in the dugout of the New York Yankees while Doris Day argues with an umpire.

Touch of Mink - Pretty Amazing Film

johngreenink18 June 2006

I would not place 'Touch Of Mink' with the likes of Tarkovsky's films, but I will say that it is a beautifully-filmed fantasy that is really titillatingly funny in a genuinely charming way. Even the most serious film viewers cannot deny the smiles that are inevitable when Doris is on the screen. The film's story evolves when two lives are randomly thrown together - that of a hard-working waitress and a rich bachelor playboy. What ensues is delicious full-on Technicolor romantic comedy.

There are also some classic moments: The hand emerging from the 'atuomatic' restaurant where Doris and Audrey work to smack the face of a particularly offending male patron (those where the days when a woman could smack a man in a film and get great laughs...) - Doris's fantasy sequence as she's driven through the streets in a bed - with a man - and they're NOT MARRIED! It's a harmless, light film that still has such a centered beauty and sophistication that shows off the bright side of Hollywood-produced films of that era. As previous posters have commented, HD Digital video just cannot produce the same wonderful hues of celluloid - and there is something irresistible about Ms. Day in this film - her character's innocence is rather genuine, as is her male lead (Cary Grant) who obviously loves her for his ability to win her over with gifts and his own brand of charm.

I think it's important to have a second look at many of Doris Day's films in the lights of the 21st century. Touch of Mink, in particular, holds a dream-bubble of blissful idealism and moral irony that has incredible resonance today, when so many have found that we must reexamine our attitudes toward casual sex. This is the central core of the film, and many would now see's Ms. Day's character's reaction to such a thought as far more intelligent than when it was viewed in the 1970's- 80's.

Give the film a view; especially on a Friday night when you really, truly want to be entertained by a dazzling screen star.

1962/2018

pr-managmenthouse30 April 2018

Doris Day and Cary Grant were my parents favorites as well as mine. To see That Touch Of Mink in 2018 is a bit of a cringing exercise. Two mega stars in their, let's say, mature years, specially Grant, behaving like adolescents it's a bit hard to take. Doris's character shares an apartment with Audrey Meadows - who I believe also needs some professional attention - they sleep in little twin beds. So bizarre to see. But and here is were the Doris Day mystery resides. I believed her unbelievable character, one hundred per cent. Doris Day was 39, Cary Grant 58 but everything I saw in Doris Days was true. That's why, I presume, this is a favorite comedy of the Coen brothers. My niece, who is 15, saw the film with me and her comment was that Cary Grant's and Gig Young's characters should be arrested. Yes, 2018 is not 1962 and films are socio-historical documents.

Just too dated

HotToastyRag6 February 2018

Delbert Mann, director of classic masterpieces Separate Tables, Dear Heart, and Desire Under the Elms was saddled with two silly Doris Day movies in the 1960s: Lover Come Back and That Touch of Mink. He wasn't by any means lousy when directing comedy, but his talents were wasted with the silly fluff pieces.

Doris Day is paired with the debonair Cary Grant in this movie, and their differences are only magnified by the film. He's extremely classy yet direct; she's common and frazzled. When paired with other costars, like James Stewart and Clark Gable, Doris comes across as classy, but up against Cary Grant, she doesn't stand a chance. Since I wasn't able to see why he was interested in her, I wasn't really able to root for the romance.

Another problem with this dated flick are the so-called scandalous jokes about premarital sex and feminine honor. By that point in her career, audiences expected Doris Day to act like a prim prude, but the movie just doesn't stand the test of time very well. It's supposed to be insulting for Cary Grant to give Doris an indecent proposal, and the mere thought of spending the night in a hotel with a man fills her with anxiety. Attitudes have changed for most people today, so unless you are looking for amusement in a cultural history book, you probably won't really like this movie.

One of the very best!

semi-buff18 May 2003

People complaining of the dumb/dated plot need to remember that this film is one of a genre and that films of that genre all have the same basic plot. Don't go into it expecting to find something else; allow yourself to accept the basic premise. This is one of THE best of the perpetual-virgin genre, and of course Day was the leading star of same. The script sparkles and the supporting players really add to the total package. John Astin is delightfully smarmy as the cheapskate lothario ("Muscatel, for my lady's pleasure") and John Fiedler is the ultimate mama's boy. Gig Young is unforgettable. Enjoy this fantastically silly movie!

Lighthearted and constantly funny comedy with an exceptional main cast

ma-cortes31 July 2009

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.

Watch "The Apartment" instead

flurbinflarbin7 June 2020

Warning: Spoilers

It almost gets good, the assistant seems quite admirable, but the ending really disappointed me. It reminds me of how far we've come, though I'm not saying it's wonderful now. This movie is dated yes, though it is entertaining it's also a little infuriating.

DVD Review

Blueghost3 March 2005

"That Touch of Mink" has its high points as well as its lows. The film's main theme revolves around undulating social morays of a cultural transition which, if one examines history, aren't all that transitional as they would appear to be. Day, Grant, Meadows and Young give some solid performances in an early 60's "sex" comedy. The humor is suggestive rather than explicit, which should create some fun for the more conservative minded. I can't say I laughed a whole lot (if at all), but I did enjoy the film on its own terms.

Regrettably the currant DVD offered by Artisan Entertainment is sub par. "That Touch of Mink" isn't the greatest film ever made, but, like so many other offerings of the period, it is a solid piece of cinema, and deserves a better visual release.

Currently Artisan Home Entertainment bolsters a "Digitally Mastered" disk, but the only mastering that was done was to put the film onto DVD format in the first place, and nothing more. I say nothing more because the film image is absolutely horrible. There's lots of video noise overlaying the film image, and where the film is shown in widescreen format, it's hardly an anamorphic transfer. Instead the consumer is given a low resolution transfer which, were it not for Day, would not be worth watching.

The audio is clear, even though its monaural. A remastered soundtrack really isn't required for a film like this, as there's really nothing more to listen to other than dialog and incidental music. That is there're no explosions, gun shots, rockets, bands or other things demanding a digital 5.1 mastered soundtrack. Still, having said all this, good clean audio should accompany a good clean image.

Too bad this disc is missing both.

Doris Day: too old to be terrified of sex...

moonspinner558 March 2001

Warning: Spoilers

Plush but somewhat piqued bedroom-comedy about a single woman in New York City, an unemployed computer programmer, who is wooed by a wealthy smoothie. Her predicament: how far should she go in the romance department without a wedding ring? There's something a little off when Doris Day (well into her 30s here, if not early 40s) contemplates going away with Cary Grant, and roommate Audrey Meadows (well into her 40s, if not early 50s) tries talking her out of it (what does Audrey want? Doris to be an old maid, living with her forever?). When Day finally does jet off to meet Grant, she breaks out in a rash. Friendly-enough comedy attempts to make The Fear of Sex funny, but there's nothing sophisticated about the main plot, nor the silly sub-plot with lackey Gig Young being mistaken for a homosexual. Had this film been made in the 1940s, it might well have passed muster. Yet these actors are too mature for an embalmed version of burlesque, glossy and colorful though it may be. **1/2 from ****

Not their best

adamsandel30 March 2021

The formula for the Doris Day rom com (at its height with Pillow Talk) had run out of steam by this 1962 effort. Yes it was boffo at the box office, but despite their great charm and star power, there isn't much real spark between Day and Grant - who were a bit long in the tooth to be playing the virgin and the playboy cad, respectively.

Grant (whose company co-produced it) appears to be too nice and perfect, missing that touch of rat (which Rock Hudson excelled at) that would give Day something to aim her sexually frustrated indignation at.

What's left is her conflict of wanting to accept expensive clothes and a lavish trip to Bermuda without putting out before marriage. (She was 39 when this was filmed.)

Gig Young takes on the role - played three times by Tony Randall in these Day rom coms - of the comic second lead who is seeing an analyst, and that joke has worn very thin by this point.

This film includes the obligatory fashion and set design porn of Day comedies, but it ultimately feels like the third cup of tea made from the same tea bag.

Flimsy but enjoyable

fletch511 January 2001

I'm a little ashamed to admit it, but I quite enjoyed this "fluff". Sure it's dated but it still manages to offer several highly amusing moments and some truly clever dialogue. Hard to believe the script was actually Oscar nominated, since it has no depth whatsoever. By no means a great movie, but good amusement nevertheless.

Barely more than mediocre

funkyfry6 November 2002

Doris Day is still the "world's oldest virgin" and this film won't let you forget it. Grant is good but laconic as a successful businessman who hooks a marriageable fish in Day. Day is kind of annoying. Young appears in the only funny bit as a therapy addict who accuses his boss of sabotaging his therapy by giving him raises and occasionally "acting human." Some funny moments and pleasing atmosphere, but with a phony sentiment.

Great writing, techno-modernist look & killer performance by Audrey Meadows make this film a must!

julieburns11 June 2000

Great writing, cool gowns, and Cary Grant panache only begin to describe the pleasures of this surprisingly refreshing film. Cary Grant is an overly-controlling business executive; Gig Young plays his side-kick, junior, and alter-ego. Doris Day is strong-willed and fun to watch, but Audrey Meadows is sensational in her over-the-top performance as Doris Day's older and wiser roommate. Two scenes stand out: one in the fabled NY quick-meal restaurant, the Automat, the other a computer room scene that has to be seen by anyone who knows what IBM stands for. See this movie. It will surprise you.

Garthbarnes is .... insular and myopic

rdarmand117 April 2016

The review that is currently displayed as the most helpful, written by someone with the nom of Garthbarnes, displays the inability to experience and appreciate film as an art form framed by the culture of its time. This is typical of self-righteous ignorance.

I don't see why the reviewer bothers to watch movies from other eras at all. He would probably be happiest discounting anything produced prior to the emergence of his own personal world-view.

To those who find these comments harsh, I can only say that the reviewer has already punished himself more thoroughly than ever I could. He has embraced myopia and insularity. To my mind, this means he has failed as a human being.

I'm no fan of Doris Day; but this is a delightful sex romp from another era. Cary Grant is always delightful; and Audrey Meadows is a treat. It is also a treat to watch a young John Astin in a deliciously slimy role, which he plays well. Gig Young always strikes me as terribly pathetic, since he plays so well on the screen while his real life was such a disaster. Richard Deacon appears, too; unbilled, I think.

Cary Makes A Big Splash With Doris

bkoganbing31 May 2006

That Touch of Mink was made at the height of Doris Day's reemergence as a comedy star and at some point it seemed only natural that she be teamed with the King of Sophisticated Comedy, Cary Grant. Too bad a better property wasn't found for either of their talents.

Not that they don't have their moments, but basically both of the stars just go through the motions doing material they've both done before.

Cary's a rich sophisticated businessman and probably the quintessence of a phrase most popular at that time, a limousine liberal. As he's going to his office he drives through a puddle and a big splash hits Doris Day. He's sincerely troubled by the whole thing, but by mere coincidence he spots here from his office window going into the Automat where Day's roommate and confidante Audrey Meadows works.

He sends his assistant Gig Young after here and that starts an involved courtship ritual.

The really good performances here come from the supporting cast. Gig Young and Tony Randall at this point were playing interchangeable roles as the hero's best friend. Young has some funny moments in that selfsame Automat where he's being victimized by Meadows.

If That Touch of Mink were made today, Audrey Meadows's part would have been more explicitly lesbian. She's full of all kinds of advice for Day, but notice she's older with no husband of her own or mention of one in the past.

But the guy who steals this film and dominates every scene he's in is the pre-Gomez Adams John Astin. He's Mr. Beazley who works at the Unemployment office and he's obviously been watching too many old films because he thinks he's Cary Grant. We meet him hitting on Doris Day as she goes for her unemployment check.

And later when Day tries to get Cary jealous by going off to a motel in New Jersey with the most repulsive man she knows, Astin, ever the charmer, hits her with that never to be forgotten line, "Muscatel for my lady."

Who could possibly resist that?

They Don't Make Comedies Like This Anymore

corey50014 January 2003

Cary Grant and Doris Day are at their comedic best in this howling tail that never gets dull. As usual Ms. Day looks stunning and Cary Grant gives Rock Hudson a lesson in comedic timing. Gig Young is sensational. Audrey Meadows adds just the right touch. Also, add a star if you remember Horn and Hardarts Automat.

Hollywood rides the bow wave of the playboy de-generation

jeben3 January 2001

How should a single woman respond when propositioned? That's the whole premise of this flick. All the women know you just say "No". They talk about saying "No" and replay uncomfortable situations where they stood up tall and said "No", but when the masher is rich, suave, handsome and gives away minks, should you still say "No"? Smart and Right, she says "No"... however, when accused of being a dropout from the playboy school of thought, a flunky with a backward conscience and outdated morals, her pride is hurt so she says "Yes". Beep! Wrong Answer... Shredded by her own good sense and regretting her hasty choice, providence saves the day and she breaks out in a rash just before hitting the silk. Relieved, but still trying to appear as a modern free-willed fornicator, she tries again to be a politically correct centerfold, drinking herself into a stupor to shut-up the voice of common decency. Providence saves the day again, leaving her too drunk to play around. Through madcaps and screwballs the two finally realize that this kind of behavior is only blessed in marriage.

The movie appears at first to take a swipe at conservative morals, which will grate at you for most of the film, but the plot clearly ends up with both feet planted on the traditional family and marriage side.

The best line in the film comes after the genteel millionaire propositions, offering a new wardrobe and a trip around the world. She replies, "I think you just asked me to marry you". Nice answer.

I love Cary Grant and Doris Day, but the characters are shallow and the plot is thin... The humor is all from uncomfortable social mal-assumption, mis-communication tangles and sexual innuendo. You spend the whole drama scanning for societal messages and filtering out the loose and crude. Most funny places you just hate to laugh at since the comedy is so base. Pick a different film. Try "The Philadelphia Story" for a class act.

Wow...this movie has it all...

cwscooby-6754528 August 2016

...misogyny, sexual harassment, sexual harassment in the workplace, casual conversation about domestic violence when a women doesn't put out after buying her a mink coat, homosexual innuendo, homophobia, an arranged marriage "to keep the little lady in line"....ah, the early 1960's. Really what more is there to say? This is the 1960's version of Pretty Woman. Rich guy picks up down-on-her-luck girl and buys her fancy clothes and takes her on fancy trips all in the expectation that he's gonna get some. All this goodness is set against the zippy backdrop of old Hollywood Cary Grant/Doris Day style. Really it's like Mad Men only less tongue in cheek. So yeah...go forth and uh...drink your way through this wild ride of setting feminism back about 50 years.
