      Steve D Not as clever as it thinks it is but the cast makes it fun. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/18/24 Full Review ashley h The Feminine Touch is a decent film. It is about a psychology professor who moves to New York to work on his new book. Rosalind Russell and Don Ameche give good performances. The screenplay is a little slow in places. W.S. Van Dyke did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the humor. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Tom M Very funny movie that loses it way in the last 20 minutes and becomes nonsensical. Ameche and Heflin's characters' are unlikable while Francis is very good. But it's Russell that makes this film so funny. Among her best comedic roles. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/12/20 Full Review s r A cute and witty romantic comedy. Another lost rating too. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member An expert cast of farceurs but it feels like they are phoning this one in, Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Charming goofball comedy played by experts. Roz, looking great, is sassy and fun one of the greatest at the slow burn ever. This was Kay Francis' last part in an A level film and a shame since she is both humorous and chic. Her slide into low grade junk and obscurity within a few years of this is an example of the way Hollywood wastes talented performers once they are no longer as big at the box office. Ameche and Heflin's parts are not as good but they make them seem better than they. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
