It's funny, though, this week Mom and I watched a foolish, thirty-minute show from 1956 on AMC. The episode was "Prima Donna" from the "Screen Director's Playhouse." The show was painfully bad--even Mom, who adores Jeanette MacDonald--thought MacDonald had stooped low for this production. The plot featured MacDonald "discovering" a singing paperboy, who turns out to be Leo Durocher's son. At one point, the boy mentions getting bitten by mosquitos, and MacDonald tells him not to worry because she can grab a can of DDT.

Stick it, Rachel Carson.
I think DDT was gone by then.
