For the REAL Perry & Della ...
you need to go back to the Warner Bros. "Clue Club" series of the '30s starring stentorian Warren William as Perry Mason. I forget who played Della (Joan Blondell?; no, Della I was a brunette ...), but she lived up to her Italo-Anglo name: she was a hooker whom Perry rescued from the streets and made his secretary, if not lover. They were MUCH more intimate, even suggestive, in that first series, and they're still a good watch on TCM whenever you can find them there.
