Customer Reviews of Cary Grant Collector's Pack (Father Goose / That Touch of Mink)
Good, for what they are. 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
Pore Mr. Beasley is misaligned. (That Touch of Mink)
Everett Beasley (John Astin) is tagged as a creep. How ever, He is quite a nice guy. He goes out of his way to persuade Cathy (Doris Day) to go out with him. Because he works in the Unemployment office, he knows he does not have any money. Cathy cruelly uses him to make some one else jealous. On top of this he gets the best vehicle available (his brothers chicken hauling truck), The best wine that was affordable (Muscatel), and even gets romantic with paper cups to drink from. He even fronts for the motel room. Now how many people do you know that would go through all that trouble for you?
Even Roger (Gig Young) is mistaken for Philip Shayne. He gets slapped, bashed, and bit.
My favorite scene is where she falls out the window and is picked up. She says, " I Fell out of mister Shayne's apartment. See that I'm returned"
Look for her again in "Where were you when the Lights went out" when she says "Hello Peter, so you're here"
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
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. :)
