Do you remember. Back in the 50's the "daring" motion pictures were few and far between. In '55, a picture called "Male and Female" was released. One had to be 12 years old to get in. It was segregated!!?? Anyway, we all ranked up with a "deena" clutched in the fist. Even at that age, it was a bit of a let down...
