Cary Grant made his last film appearance before retiring from the screen in this agreeable piece of fluff based on the 1943 comedy The More the Merrier, which dealt with the romantic complications inherent in the housing shortage in Washington D.C. during World War II. In Walk, Don't Run, the story is updated to a housing shortage in Tokyo during the Olympic Games of 1964. British industrialist Sir William Rutland (Cary Grant) arrives in Tokyo two days before the start of the games and cannot find any suitable accommodations. As a result, he answers an ad for an "apartment to share" and convinces the occupant, Christine Easton (Samantha Eggar), to rent a room to him. The next day he meets the handsome Steve Davis (Jim Hutton), a member of the United States Olympic walking team. Steve also needs a room and convinces Christine to take him on as a second tenant. After meeting Christine's pompous fianc, Julius D. Haversack (John Standing), Rutland begins to ply his matchmaking skills in an effort to get Christine and Steve to fall in love with each other. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

Charming ladies' man Cary Grant becomes a charismatic matchmaker in his final screen appearance in WALK, DON'T RUN. When English industrialist Sir William Rutland (Grant) arrives in Tokyo on business, the influx of tourists for the upcoming Olympic games makes it impossible to find lodging. So Grant fast-talks his way into sharing an apartment with beautiful Christine Easton (Samantha Eggar) for a few days. To further confuse matters, Grant invites Steve Davis (Jim Hutton), a member of the U.S.Olympic team, to share his half of the apartment. Three's definitely a crowd as Grant plays Cupid between Eggar and Hutton- much to Eggar's stodgy's surprise. Will Grant manage to send his roomies tothe altar? Only if he solves the many comical complications that come his way! Filmed entirely on location, WALK, DON'T RUN is a fitting coda to the dapper, debonair style and screen career of superstar Cary Grant.
