American treasure, Doris Day, turns 90! Doris Day is a living legend, an American treasure- the likes of which we will never see again. Over the course of her career, Day appeared in 39 films.

But pensioners Alan and Anne Leigh-Browne, from Wellington, Somerset, watched the whole film before complaining. They had bought the DVD of the 1957 U-certificate Pajama Game for £2.99 from a bargain bin at a Safeway supermarket. But inside the box was Italian movie Tettore che Passione, which translates as Breasts of Passion, reports the Mirror.

"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...

"I'm pulling for him every step of the...
