In this episode we talk about the iconic 'girl next door' Doris Day. We have selected two very contrasting movies in order to highlight the breadth of Day's talent. The first, Storm Warning (1951), features Doris alongside Ginger Rogers, Steve Cochran and Ronald Reagan. Day portrays the newly-wed wife of a man who she finds out too late is a member of the Ku Klux Klan. What's worse is that they have committed a vicious killing that her sister, played by Ginger Rogers, has witnessed. Next we discuss the very different Pillow Talk (1959), a romantic comedy in glamorous New York. In one of her most well-known roles Doris is caught in a romantic wild goose chase with her regular screen partner Rock Hudson.
