Touch of Pink is a 2004 Canadian-British gay-themed romantic comedy film written and directed by Ian Iqbal Rashid. The film takes its title from the Cary Grant film That Touch of Mink.
Alim is a young gay Ismaili Muslim man. Born in Kenya and raised in Toronto, he moved to London to get away from his conservative upbringing. He faces the hardships of coming out to his mother Nuru, as well as hardships in his relationship with his boyfriend Giles. Alim has an imaginary friend (or maybe a guardian angel or ghost friend, depending on how literally or symbolically one takes the film) who is supposedly Cary Grant, who gives Alim advice when Alim is in trouble. Unfortunately, the advice often seems to make more trouble.
Touch of Pink received mixed to negative reviews, currently holding a 36% rating on Rotten Tomatoes; the consensus states: "Kyle MacLachlan does a very good imitation Cary Grant in this forced and contrived tale."
The film grossed $564,535 domestically and $16,520 internationally for a worldwide total of $581,055.
