Relive the great cinematic romances of all time in the pages of Cinema Retro. Remember Doug (Gene Wilder), the successful, happily married doctor whose business was thriving - until that fateful day when Daisy came into his life? Sure, she was quiet and could have used a few sessions with a bottle of Nair, but it was lust at first sight. Before long, they were meeting clandestinely. Doug hid the affair from his wife while Daisy did likewise with the Armenian shepherd who wondered why she had grown so cold to him. Alas, as with so many great movie romances, tragedy loomed around the corner - a la Gone With the Wind and Love Story. One fateful day, Daisy and Doug's significant others caught on. Remember the look of pain and shock on Doug's face when private investigators broke into the luxurious hotel suite he had rented - only to find Daisy attired in stockings and garter belt, as a bottle of champagne chilled near the bed? It was the beginning of a downward spiral for the lovers. Daisy was shepherded back to Armenia by her jealous lover. Doug was divorced and faced legal problems over the shocking fact that Daisy was under age. The once enviable man ended up destitute on the Bowery - drinking from bottles of Woolite as a coarse reminder of the girl he once loved.
If you've never seen the film in question, by all means do so - it's Woody Allen's Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex (1972). Yes, the same touching movie in which another couple finds love by working together to defeat a humungous breast that has been ravaging the countryside and killing innocent teenagers. (See below)
