Added DiffLines:

* BabiesEverAfter: At the end, with the added little twist that a psychologist thinks the baby is the product of two men who married.
* BeautifulAllAlong: Subverted when Roger tells his plain-looking secretary to take off her glasses and let her hair down, and is disappointed to get the same woman with a bad squint and messy hair. [[ThisIsReality "Gee, it always works in the movies!"]]


Added DiffLines:

* NotWithThemForTheMoney: Miss Timberlake makes it very clear that, while Philip may be very rich and very charming, she isn't interested in the former.
* PanAndScan: Probably one of the most disastrous examples of pan-and-scan was featured in this film, which was used in an example on a ''Series/SiskelAndEbert'' show chastising the process. One scene in question takes place at a New York Yankees game: in one shot, Doris Day's character is making such a big commotion, but you can't see her; only the others ''reacting'' to her. The same scene has a cameo by Yogi Berra, but while you can hear him, he's barely in the frame!

!!This film features examples of:
* TheGlassesGottaGo: Done by Miss Jones as part of Roger wanting her to have a sexy makeover. Unfortunately, she is very near-sighted and ends up looking around with very squinty eyes.
* HotLibrarian: Averted when Roger is dictating and stops in the middle to ask Miss Jones to [[TheGlassesGottaGo take off her glasses]] and [[LettingHerHairDown shake her hair back]]. Miss Jones is very near-sighted and looks around, nearly blind, with very squinty eyes looking even less attractive than with her glasses on.
* LettingHerHairDown: Done by Miss Jones as part of Roger wanting her to have a sexy makeover.
* MeetCute: Here it's done by him having his car splash her with mud.
* PrettyInMink: There is a mink coat, as the title suggests, but it has almost nothing to do with the plot. But it's pretty.
* RoadsideWave: Done as a MeetCute in the opening scene, with Cathy getting splashed by a limo carrying Philip.
