Movie of Doris is always pleasant........2007-07-03

Movie of Doris is always pleasant.Besides, she is cute.
Doris is charming, and she always pleases everybody by the performance that, besides, playfulness is plentiful in a movie.
Cary Grant gives a good performance.

classic comedy.......2007-05-12

That Touch of Mink.......2007-03-18

Great movie!! Any Cary Grant/Doris Day fan would love to have to watch over and over.

Exceptional entertainment!.......2007-02-01

I just recently saw this movie for the 1st time and LOVED every minute of it; there were even several laugh out loud moments. Cary's comedic talent is at it's best with fabulous lines and Doris is, of course, gloriously Doris. I intend to buy this little gem of a movie and highly recommend that others do too!

If you grew up in the 60's and LOVED Doris Day or Cary Grant movies - BUY THIS ONE!!!

A sweet and funny story with a great supporting cast!

Good, for what they are........2003-06-17

You gotta be a fan of Cary Grant to like these. They are fairly typical of the romantic comedies of the time. These movies are kind of like cotton candy -- sweet and enjoyable, but not much substance.

Father Goose is, in my opinion, the better of the two, because is allows Cary Grant to stretch a bit, while still remaining true to the genre. His gruff, unshaven character is a departure from the suave, sophisticated of That Touch of Mink.

If you're a fan of these type of movies, it's a worthy addition.

Interesting combination.......2002-03-24

They all know!! (That Touch of Mink)

Philip Shayne (Cary Grant) rich industrial owner accidentally splashes Cathy Timberlake (Doris Day) out of work computer operator, as his car drives by. He sends his assistant Roger (Gig Young) to apologies. This becomes the beginning of a comedy of misunderstanding, misidentification, and a strange relationship between Philip and Cathy.

Although Doris Day and Carry Grant insure that this is a fun comedy, it is the bevy of other well-known actors that take this to new heights. Audrey Meadows plays the protective big sister type who hears about Mr. Shayne's exploits over the phone. Gig young is Mr. Shayne's go-for and finds out first hand what people and dogs think of him. Don Knotts is a shoe salesman as he is in another Doris day movie [Move Over Darling (1963)]. You defiantly do not want to miss the scene with Everett Beasley's (John Astin) date with Cathy.

My favorite scene is where she falls out the hotel window and is picked up. She says, "I Fell out of mister Shayne's apartment. See that I'm returned"

Goody Two Shoes and the Filthy Beast (Father Goose)

Walter Christopher Eckland (Cary Grant) A drifter, has obtained a boat from someone fleeing the oncoming war. Due to a lack of coast watchers (the "should have been" watcher getting himself eaten), Walter is pressed into service. Certain measures were taken to get him there and to encourage his participation.
On a mission to save a fellow cost watcher Walter ends up with Catherine Louise Marie Ernestine Freneau (Leslie Caron), who is escorting several schoolgirls out of harms way and was stranded. Place any man and woman on an island toss in some schoolgirls, a little liquor, snake, tie, Japanese, and you have a mixture for comedy.

One is enough.......2001-08-03

I give this collection 4 stars only because it came with another DVD instead of just Father Goose. This is my all time favorite Cary Grant movie and I would have preferred that it came separate. But, you can never have too much Cary Grant. :)

Great twin Pack.......2000-05-26

ALthough I will be honest enough to say that I would have paid the same amount just for Father Goose. There are not a whole lot of Bells and whistles which you normally associate with a DVD, but the transfer was clean, so you have a nice version of the two.

Father Goose is possibly Cary Grant's best role, if only because this is not a typical Cary Grant type of Character. The story, that of a Itenerant Beach bumb who gets dragooned into service during WW II is absolutely priceless.

I Can reccommend this twinpack just for Father Goose

Clarification of previous review.......2000-05-14

Note that in my previous review, in which I commented on the dreadful DVD transfer, I was only referring to the "That Touch of Mink" DVD. The Father Goose DVD is not that bad.

Product Description

Movie Description This World War II comedy stars Cary Grant in an uncharacteristic turn as Walter Eckland. Walter is an unshaven bum who inhabits a deserted island in the South Seas. Completely boozed up, unshaven, and badly dressed, Walter is a watcher for Japanese spy planes. An Australian Navy Commander, Frank Houghton (Trevor Howard) has pressed Walter, who once had his own cruiser at the beginning of the war, to become the sole occupant of a strategic watching station. It is into this world that smart and sexy Catherine Frenau (Leslie Caron) is drawn when Walter, en route in a dinghy to rescue another watcher, stumbles on to the schoolteacher and a flock of seven young girls. The girls have been marooned because their pilot was ordered to leave them to rescue the survivors of an abandoned bomber. Ralph Nelson directs shrewdly and keeps the comedy crisp as these eight survivors try to inhabit the same small island without driving each other crazy. The sharp witted Academy Award winning screenplay by Peter Stone and Frank Tarloff, is based on a story by S.H. Barnett.

Outstandingly supurb. I am a long time fan of any of Cary Grant movies, and you will never find any to compare. Recomend very highly

Indiscreet DVD in Cary Grant set is defective!.......2005-09-07

No reflection on my screen idol (or Amazon) but both sets I received include a defective Indiscreet DVD! There are visible pock marks on the DVD surface. I have to return the original set and this replacement set too. I hope this gets straightened out so I can enjoy the set in the near future!!

Defective Box Set 2 times.......2005-03-12

I like the set, however Amazon keeps shipping defective sets. You can easily see the defects. The actual discs look like they have a bad case of acne. Its always the same 2 that are unplayable. Wait until Amazon gets some that work!

if you're a cary grant fan, this is your best deal.......2003-12-28

All the dvd's have great quality and sound and for the price, they can't be beat. Cary Grant is in his true, classic form in all five of these movies. Men can all learn a lesson on how to be a gentleman from this guy. Timeless!!
