Listening Post And TV Review

Valley Times, Los Angeles, California, USA, June 17th, 1958

Allen Rich, Radio and TV Editor

This article is a prime example for much of what was wrong in the 1950s. Allen Rich, real-life sleazy creep and the author of this piece, is, with all due respect, which is close to none, oozing sexism, exoticism and various other unpleasant -isms from every pore. I can’t imagine what it must have been like for Maria to endure this man for the length of an entire interview.
