Walk Don't Run

In 1964 Tokyo, Sir William Rutland (Cary Grant) is an important English businessman, who arrives two days early and is greeted by the housing shortage caused by the 1964 Summer Olympics. While at the British Embassy seeking help, he notices an announcement of an available apartment and decides to check the place out. He finds himself at the residence of Christine Easton, who insists that it would be improper to take him in as a housemate; she had forgotten to advertise that she would prefer to rent to a woman. Easton eventually lets Rutland stay—half because she is persuaded it is her patriotic duty to take him in and half because of Rutland's own self-assured pushiness.
