[QUOTE="ClassyCo, post: 271054, member: 7"] [JUSTIFY]Doris did morph into being "The Perpetual Virgin" or "The World's Oldest Virgin" in the sixties. She made bedroom comedies without any significant bedroom activity. Films like DO NOT DISTURB (1965) and THE GLASS BOTTOM BOAT (1966) proved that her popularity was slipping; the comedy situations that seemed fresh and vital just a few years prior now seem dated and out of touch with the times. She did CAPRICE (1967), which was a poor attempt a spy spoof, and she was doing the weak Western THE BALLAD OF JOSIE (1967) at a time when the sexual revolution was reaching its peak. She had clearly fallen out of touch with the times. She went from #1 at the box office in 1964 to out of the running altogether by 1968, when she starred in her final two movies: WHERE WERE YOU WHEN THE LIGHTS WENT OUT? and WITH SIX YOU GET EGGROLL. The latter film --- along with YOURS, MINE, AND OURS, starring Lucille Ball and Henry Fonda --- are typically viewed as forerunners or inspirations to THE BRADY BUNCH television series that appeared in the fall of 1968.
