No one asked for your view of the show, nor is this the thread to voice such sentiments. Do that elsewhere.
Jawohl, mein herr!

Thanks as always for the caps, Eric. I also ordered that set and what got my attention was, as you said, the fact that the theatrical version featured a boytoy in bed with London as opposed to her solo [no pun intended] bedroom scene in the American TV version. Struck me as funny about the mores of the time that seeing a pair of man-boobs plus the implication of forthcoming sex was more than we were deemed able to handle as a populace, but the rampant violence of MFU's season 4 was A-OK. Weird.
And yeah, Julie London was WAY underutilized in this TV show/film.
Somewhat amusingly when you compare both versions, Julie seems a bit more uncomfortable in the version with the boy-toy, at least in the first scene. That kind of ties in with what I've read about how off-camera and when not performing on-stage she was the total opposite of her songstress image. In fact, it's because I've read about how shy and nervous she was off-stage, and how she preferred domesticity to performing, that it ends up revealing a lot of unappreciated acting talent that she could have projected the exact opposite when performing and without a hitch.
Her best acting performance on film IMO remains her great S4 "Big Valley" episode, "They Called Her Delilah" which I wish had a legit release on DVD with the rest of the series.

(though after these two scenes she is inexplicably back in her original attire, which might suggest there was a limit to how long she could be seen in this state!)
