Wong Ah, yes. "First Love", with Susan Dey and William ("Get the jammies, Ralph!") Katt. I believe Reed has made about 3 satires on it, "Worst Love" being the perennial favorite. I had the interesting sensation of watching Dey & Katt make love in what was apparently my dorm room when viewing the movie my freshman year -- it looked a lot cleaner, and there was much nicer furniture. Still, it was fun to hang an old "Partridge Family" album over the bed... The other movie was, I believe, "Satan's School for Girls", but the title could be wrong. I remember Franciscus (Farentino?), but not Collins -- she was not the sensations she is now when I saw it. I believe Reed was (is?) used as a movie set occasionally due to the fact that it has "Ivy League" or Oxford-like looks, but is a lot closer to Los Angeles than most colleges of that description. Also, it has no summer session, and so is pretty clear for filming during that time of year. "Honey, this is GREAT coffee." Moriarty, aka Jeff Meyer John Fluke Mfg. Co., Inc.
