	Movies - Walk Don't Run

Walk Don't Run (sometimes titled as Walk, Don't Run in U.S. promotional materials), was a 1966 film comedy set in Tokyo during the Olympic Games held there in 1964. It marked the last appearance by Cary Grant in a feature film.

Plot

Grant's character was a businessman who was caught up in the lack of space due to the Games, and wound up sharing very cramped space with an American athlete, portrayed by Jim Hutton. The athlete falls in love with a young English lady, played by Samantha Eggar, but refuses to reveal what sport he was competing in. It turns out to be race walking. Grant becomes involuntarily involved in the romantic troubles of Hutton and Eggar, and the movie culminates in Grant suddenly appearing in his underwear race-walking in the event with Hutton, trying to heal the breach between the young lovers.

In several comic scenes of Grant making coffee, he shows he is a well-to-do person who has obviously never made his own coffee, and fills the basket to the brim, then levels it off with his hand.

Trivia

In the movie, Cary Grant makes references to other movies he has appeared in. While making coffee he whistles the tune of the theme from "Charade" with Audrey Hepburn, and while showering he sings the theme to "An Affair to Remember" with Deborah Kerr.
