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 however, when accused of being a dropout from the playboy school of thought, a flunky with a backward conscience and outdated morals, her pride is hurt so she says "Yes".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.
