In memory of Doris Day a top five of some more obscure works in her filmography
 1) Storm Warning (1951) - Doris plays a woman whose husband (Steve 
Cochran) is a member of the KKK - her sister (Ginger Rogers!) busts up 
the gang with the help of a crusading DA (Ronald Reagan!)
 2) Julie 
(1956) - Doris is a stewardess with a psycho husband (Louis Jourdan) who
 she has to battle... leading to a climax where she lands a plane, 
perhaps the first stewardess landing the plane climax in film history. Go Doris!
 3) Midnight Lace (1960) - Doris is stalked again, in a decent psycho thriller co written by Australia's own Ivan Goff
 4) Caprice (1967) - Doris and Richard Harris as industrial spies who 
flirt and double cross each other in a film very, very much like the 
later Julia Roberts-Clive Owen film Duplicity
 5) The Ballad of Josie (1968) - Doris shoots her abusive husband in the old west and sets up a suffrage film
