Touch of Pink
BY: DAVID PERRY
Where Humphrey Bogart came into Woody Allen’s life to help in
the wooing of Diane Keaton in Play It Again, Sam, Cary Grant gets to the
celebrity imaginary friend in Touch of Pink. This time it’s a romantically
troubled Jimi Mistry, but instead of trying to get the girl he wants, he
needs to hide the boy he has. Openly gay in Toronto, Mistry must still keep
his longtime companion from his mother when she prepares for a visit. Grant,
of course, gets to be the voice of reason, his own mastery at hiding his
homosexuality (cf. the post-mortem tabloids, not verified elsewhere, though
that might have been enough to cause his use here) used to hide it. |
