After watching _Down With Love_, I couldn't help but wonder if DF
movies are going to become fashionable again.

As near as I can tell, Doris Day became a virgin around the time _The
Pajama Game_ was released in 1957. I always enjoy watching a fortyish
Doris play a spinster bobbysoxer being chased around the room by various
married men and eligible bachelors. The hijinks in Pillow Talk are even
more hilarious now that we know the truth about Rock Hudson.

Miss Day is the undisputed queen of the DF (Delayed ****) movies, but
Annette Funicello ran a close second.

I just can't bring myself to watch those movies. They're the cinematic
equivalent of having my teeth pulled.

Two noticeable exceptions are Jayne Mansfield in "The Girl Can't Help
It" (no, she's NOT the two exceptions! <g>), and the fabulous "Seven
Year Itch".

Actually, she was in her early thirties around then. sorry

You're right. I thought that Miss Day was born before 1920, instead of
in 1924. She was only 38 when she played her last virgin in _That Touch
of Mink_ (1962).

Her Jiffy Pop hairdo in _Lover Come Back_ (1961) was a real turn on.

Well, yeah.

But I was thinking more along the lines of Sandra Dee and Connie
Stevens.

Doesnt T'Pol from Start Trek get that 7 year itch?

The great pianist, drunk and wit Oscar Levant once boasted that he
knew Doris Day BEFORE she was a virgin.

I know T'Pol gives me that itch!

Oh, hey -- just to keep this in context: Seven-Of-Nine is in "Down With
Love".
