Phil Meloy Posted January 28, 2005 Report Posted January 28, 2005 Sex film shock for Doris Day fans 27 January 2005 A devout Baptist couple today told of their disgust after they bought a classic musical DVD featuring Doris Day from their local supermarket only to discover it was a Italian sex film. Alan and Anne Leigh-Browne, from Wellington, Somerset, had been expecting to enjoy watching The Pajama Game, a romantic comedy featuring the fifties icon. Instead the shocked pensioners were confronted by raunchy sex film - Tettore che Passione, which translates as Breasts of Passion. Retired doctor Alan, 67, picked up the film, which was sealed in plastic wrapping, for £2.99 from the bargain bin of a Safeway supermarket in nearby Taunton last Monday. On Thursday the couple who are regular attenders of their local Baptist church, settled down with a cup of tea to watch the 1957 film which has a U (universal) certificate. Mr Leigh-Browne explained: "We are big fans of Doris Day and were looking forward to the film, but we knew something was amiss when a warning flashed up on the screen advising under 18s not to carry on watching. "Then some topless young women appeared and started talking in Italian we were horrified, it's not what you expect from a Doris Day film. "It was a pretty raunchy, explicit film, it certainly pulled no punches. My wife and I were very shocked but we watched it until the end because we couldn't believe what we were seeing. "The film became progressively more graphic, there was no plot to it, it was just sex." Alan and his wife Anne, 60, a retired teacher, complained to Safeway the next day and all copies of the Pajama Game were immediately removed from the store. A spokeswoman for Morrisons who now run Safeway said: "We would urge the customer involved to return the product to their nearest store with proof of purchase or send direct to the Customer Services Department at Morrisons Head Office as a thorough investigation cannot take place until the product is returned." But the Leigh-Brownes, who are still to pick up a copy of the original Pajama Game, are anxious that the porn film could have fallen into the wrong hands. Mr Leigh Browne added: "Out biggest concern with the whole episode was that small children could easily have bought the film and been exposed to its content. It was in the bargain bin alongside other children's films. "There must be some way of ensuring that this cannot happen." Quote

No shit! I'd have been disgusted. I mean, really...talking Italian? It brings back horrible memores of Bananarama and the eighties... Quote
Jazzmoose Posted January 28, 2005 Report Posted January 28, 2005 And how about a little sympathy for the poor wanker who now has a Doris Day flick and...well, that's as far as I'll go with that one... Quote

Jim R Posted January 28, 2005 Report Posted January 28, 2005 Hey, didn't they get what they deserved? I mean, a devout Baptist man in his 60's trying to sneak a peek at Ms Day in her pajamas. It's shameful. BTW, wasn't "devout" a Slim Gaillard term? How did that ever get hooked up with religion? Quote
Dan Gould Posted January 28, 2005 Report Posted January 28, 2005 This reminds me of the time when I was an undergrad at Florida State, watching SNL, and coming out of the first commercial break, the local NBC affiliate started broadcasting porn! At first I figured it was one of those short films, but then all of a sudden the girl was topless and fondling the guy through his jeans. And all of a sudden it was gone and the regular broadcast was back. I always figured that the engineer was watching a dirty movie and hit the wrong knob or something. Now, if I understand this story correctly, Ms. Day doesn't actually appear in the Italian porn film, right? Quote

Back in the early days of satellite TV you could only tune the satellite to one channel at a time, even if you had more than one TV. When I was about 8, my parents were remodeling the house and dragged me along when they went to the house of their friend, an interior decorator, to check out wall units or something. They parked me in front of the TV in the living room, which was tuned to the Miami Heat game, and went into the interior decorator's kitchen to talk. Meanwhile one team calls timeout and the station cuts to commercial. In about two seconds this naked lady shows up on TV, rubbing up against some guy in a tuxedo. This goes on for about two minutes, and then wham! The game's back on without me doing anything to the remote. A few more minutes go by, the quarter ends, and wham! More naked lady. After another minute or so of this my dad walked in to check on me. You can imagine his surprise at what was on. Turned out the decorator's husband, not realizing other people were in the house, was flipping to Playboy TV from their bedroom TV during commercials...pretty hilarious to an 8 year old. Quote
