LONDON (AFP) - It was when a topless woman appeared on screen speaking Italian that devout Christians Alan and Anne Leigh-Browne realised the Doris Day film they had bought might have been wrongly packaged. The elderly British couple urged the supermarket where they bought the DVD purporting to be "The Pajama Game", the 1957 romantic comedy starring the wholesome US actress, to investigate what went wrong. "Our biggest concern with the whole episode was that small children could easily have bought the film and been exposed to its content," Alan Leigh-Brown, 67, said on Thursday. The retired doctor, a regular with his wife at their local Baptist church, had bought the bargain-bin film, sealed in plastic wrapping from a Safeway supermarket in Taunton, southwest England. Settling down to watch it, the Leigh-Brownes found themselves instead faced with a raunchy sex title called "Tettore che Passione", or Breasts of Passion. "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," Mr Leigh-Browne said. "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."

That no normal child would go out and buy a Doris Day movie? or The fact that they kept watching it?

4. They weren't aghast enough not to watch the whole dern movie |
|
Of course, for research purposes - to report all the details to their Sunday morning Bible study. That's the joke - the hypocrisy of these people.

8. What an ordeal that must have been, watching and watching and |
|
waiting for the "plot" to surface! (Though as I remember, Doris Day films weren't always all that strong in the plot department either.)

9. Movie database of Doris day film states |
|
Employees of the Sleeptite Pajama Factory are looking for a whopping seven-and-a-half cent an hour increase and they won't take no for an answer. Babe Williams is their feisty employee representative but she may have found her match in shop superintendent Sid Sorokin. When the two get together they wind up discussing a whole lot more than job actions!
Add nudity and it's there same film right?

10. I can imagine their conversation as they're watching... |
|
Alan: Dorris Day speak Italian? Wife: I don't think so?
Alan: Did we miss the scene with the pajamas? Wife: Cripes, I don't know?
Alan: What sort of pajama game is this? Wife: It doesn't look like any one I recall?
Alan: Well, lets turn it off and return it. Wife: Oh bloody hell, lets watch until the pajamas show up.
