That Touch of Mink

A rich businessman and a young woman are attracted to each other, but he only wants an affair while she wants to save herself for marriage. Cathy Timberlake is an old-fashioned country girl who meets the man of her dreams, Philip Shayne, after his Rolls Royce splashes her with mud on her way to a job interview. Philip is a romantic businessman who is taken by Cathy's honest heart. There's one problem: he's not interested in marriage, and she has never thought of anything else. —Kelly On a rainy day, currently-unemployed Cathy Timberlake is furious when a passing limousine, driving through a puddle, splashes her, muddying her coat and dress. She is even more furious when the limousine fails to stop, although she knows the limo's passenger saw her get splashed. She changes her tune when she meets that passenger: dashing, wealthy businessman Philip Shayne. Cathy is immediately attracted to him and he to her. However, ladies' man Philip is much more experienced than she, and she is unprepared for his lavish and elaborate proposal--that she accompany him immediately to Bermuda, Paris, and Monte Carlo--and its connotation that it hold no strings. Cathy turns to her streetwise roommate, Connie Emerson, for advice. As Philip and Cathy's whirlwind relationship progresses, Cathy's hesitance to "go all the way" with Philip always leads to frustration for him. Despite Philip and Cathy being unable to make a full connection, Philip's business associate Roger believes that Cathy is just what Philip needs in his life, as he has never needed to work at making a conquest. Although Cathy really does want to be with Philip and he wants to be with her, can they get over these initial obstacles? —Huggo While heading out to collect her unemployment paycheck and then to attend a job interview, naive Cathy Timberlake gets her coat mud-splashed by the Rolls Royce of millionaire businessman Philip Shayne. He sees her going to have lunch from his office and sends his financial advisor Roger to give her some money to compensate for her loss. The offer offends Cathy 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 will propose--but he has no such intention. —Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
