F. Black from a novel of the same name by Doris Miles Disney.[5] PlotFour middle class Pasadena ladies in their late sixties (Helen Hayes, Myrna Loy, Mildred Natwick, and Sylvia Sidney) habitually meet for lunch and to concoct schemes to pass the time. For fun, they decide to create a fictitious young woman, "Rebecca", whose details they submit to a computer dating service. Several days later they start receiving letters from potential suitors and derive amusement from reading them out loud. Concurrently, a young woman (Diane Shalet) becomes alarmed by her date, Mal's (Vince Edwards) attempts to force himself upon her and manages to escape into her home. His audible thoughts reveal that he has dangerous difficulty in relating to women. Mal turns his obsessive attentions to the fictitious "Rebecca" and not only sends a letter but tracks down the telephone number of "her" address. He calls and speaks to one of the old ladies, who impishly accepts a date with him at a local bar. In a spirit of fun the four ladies wait at the bar to see what Mal looks like, however when he arrives he mistakes a hooker, Brenda (Barbara Davis) for "Rebecca" and leaves with her. When they arrive at Brenda's apartment and she asks for money, an outraged Mal attacks and kills her. Once the ladies realise their actions have led to murder they go to the police, however they also investigate Mal themselves, which places them in grave danger... [6] Brief continuation in a similar formOn December 16, 1972, thirteen months after the November 9, 1971 ABC broadcast of Do Not Fold, Spindle or Mutilate, NBC reunited Hayes and Natwick as The Snoop Sisters, a two-hour television film about two aged sisters who write mysteries as well as solve crimes. Although different characters than in Do Not Fold, the Snoop sisters' relationship clearly resembles that of the one adventurous / one sensible style of Do Not Fold's Helen Hayes and Myrna Loy, but with Natwick now cast as the level-headed sibling. Four additional ninety-minute episodes of The Snoop Sisters were screened between December 1973 and March 1974. [7] Cast{{columns-list|colwidth=18em|
