Unbridled sex appeal and bridled hobbyhorses make an unlikely scene. Yet there was Israeli Siren Dahlia Lavi, 26, playing the role of the Jewish Mother with all the smothering solicitude of Molly Goldberg.

Glenda Farrell, thinks the boy is hanging around in order to court Julie's flaming mod daughter Gretchen Corbett, who is almost 18 and as old as Eve.
