This film seems to divide people into loved-it or hated-it camps
- as apparent by the two reviews by Ralph and Paul:

Will she or won't she sleep with Cary Grant? It's from the early 1960s, so the movie cannot say as much, but any audience member out of preschool will know that this is a movie basically about Doris Day's virginity, and about how everyone is after it.
Things get underway immediately, when poor Cathy (Doris), on a rainy New York morning, is splashed and muddied by a passing limousine, mussing up her dress on the way to a job interview. (It took nearly another forty years for so much fuss to be made again about a stained dress: Monica Lewinsky's.) In that limo was corporate titan Philip Shayne, played by an older but still dashing Cary Grant; he knows he should have stopped to apologize, but has to scurry off to Very Important Business instead. When he catches sight of the young woman from his office — she's on her way into the Horn & Hardart Automat — he dispatches his lieutenant, played by Gig Young, to apologize for him. Young's character is a professor of economics at Princeton lured away by Shayne's money to the corporate corridors, but he's wracked with guilt about it; an unusually large percentage of his ample salary goes to his therapist, whom he sees daily. (The shrink, in turn, pumps his patient for stock tips.)
Doris thinks that Cary should apologize himself, not send an emissary, and she intends to tell him so. But when they meet, since she's a big movie star and he's a big movie star, they instantaneously fall in love. They paint the town, zip around on his corporate jet, and then he asks the big question: Will she accompany him on a trip to Bermuda? No, it's decidedly not a marriage proposal; she wants to go, but does a nice girl do something like that?
