it's so extraordinary to see her in 1965 when such a few years later, she would be described as the greatest interviewer in the world for her interviews of Kissinger, Ho Chi Minh, Castro and others. Amazing! Just six or seven years before world fame.
Game #1: Being an Italian, I’m excited about this game. Oriana Fallaci was (and still is) a legend in Italian Journalism, as well as one of the most provocative and influential interviewer and writer in the western world. In the latter years of her life, her work was about Islamic culture and Jihadism (I must warn you that her views on the subject could be considered as “Islamophobic”), including her long-form article “La Rabbia e l’Orgoglio” published in the wake of 9/11. She passed away in 2005/2006 (I don’t remember exactly) And no jokes about cigarettes, because she was an adamant smoker. Game #2: Ronan O'Rahilly - son of a Easter Rising veteran - passed away in 2020, but his creature - Radio Caroline - still lives to this day. Commercial radio in Britain was legalised in the 1970s on a local level and in the 1990s on a national level. But only in 2017 Radio Caroline received for the first time in his history a regular “on shore” broadcasting licence, after years as a pirate and internet station (Ronan was one of those that was against the idea of a “legalised” Caroline). The Caroline North ship is still sailing sometimes offshore for occasional retro broadcasts (even if, due to COVID restrictions, those events are less common than before the pandemic, when the ship was on air for 8/10 times a year). There is SO much to write about the 1960s/70s off shore stations in the North Sea, like Caroline, North Sea or the dutch Veronica. I believe the movie “The Boat that Rocked” was based on Caroline. 12:09 “How you get there?” “By boat.” 12:49 FCC: “Don’t give ‘em ideas…”
Notice as the camera swung down from Oriana Fallaci and her imposters to the panel that Kitty did what could be called the "forefinger rub of shame". After that, an interesting round about Ronan O'Rahilly.
Hello there, TTTT. I just wanted to speak contra those who have berated you for your spelling error; I, for one, am very grateful for all your work and believe that you, presumably being human, are entitled to make a mistake. Thanks.
Che bella qui Oriana!!! Più del solito!!! Carina in questa veste "frivola"!!!! Ma questi sapevano con chi stessero parlando??? Simpatici però, dai. Divertente!!
For the woman who wrote the book, I think her title was used to reflect what she believes men around the world think of their women. It would be interesting to read her conclusions in the book.
Ahaahahahha! It's so funny to see how it could be hard to appreciate the Italian sense of humor. They didn't think she was just kidding, indeed. Being Italian makes it easier ;)
The Fallaci segment was almost surreal to me. My knowledge of Fallaci comes from recent events. I did not know much about her early work. It seemed as if the panel was looking into a time machine and speaking to the future and completely misunderstanding it. I love this program, but this segment reveals its limitations. They can deal only superficially with subjects and events and often miss the point.
Oriana Fallaci is the most famous interviewer within living memory. Maybe her best-kown interview was with the "Ayatollah Khomeini," during which she tore off her chador, causing Khomeini to storm out of the room. She was a feminist, but unlike Friedan and Steinem, she did *not* write exclusively on feminism. History has by no means forgotten her.
Game #2: I knew it wasn't #1 because Sid Bernstein was a very famous concert promoter who brought the Beatles to Shea Stadium. None of the panel seemed to know that (except maybe Orson). Duh!
retrorex There was more than one person with a similar name.... See en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidney_Bernstein,_Baron_Bernstein for the British founder of Granada TV.
The name is Oriana Fallaci

TY. Effin internet dopes.

Oriana Fallaci wrote many important works in the following decades, including her books on Islam post-9/11.
Correct names are Oriana Fallaci (1929-2006), Ronan O'Rahilly (1940-2020) and Belle Desrosiers.

I do love how the thumbnail of Oriana manages to capture that abject look of "I can't believe they're this stupid."
Orson Bean ended up as Andrew Breitbart's father in law in later life.
It doesn't seem as if the panel realized that the title of Oriana Fallaci's book, "The Useless Sex," was meant to be ironic.
Of course they didn't. They were there to play a game.
Classy and stll elegant oriana

A great writer. Still today her books are highly significant

Wow! The Peeper was young here. He was an alum from a college where I once taught

Good gosh.she is soooo beautiful.

Ronan O'Rahilly is still alive as of this writing.
Nigel Dempster, (contestant 1 game 2) pretty famous gossip columnist.
Yes. Here in the UK he was very well known.
Huh vaa chi? How about Hawaii?
Ahaahahahha! It's so funny to see how it could be hard to appreciate the Italian sense of humor. They didn't think she was just kidding, indeed. Being Italian makes it easier ;)
This is my favorite panel!

Couldn't have said it better myself ❗
Books such as "The Useless Sex" show how much society was changing. The 60's was, after all, the decade of Women's Lib and Black Civil Rights.
Executive Decision I believe she is very well known in her own country and throughout Europe.

Kitty's helmet is very simetrical tonight !!!!
Give it a rest already. And learn to spell.
Fallaci is correct. Why not fix it?
The sponsor announcement for Winston cigarettes was kept in but for Marlboro, the sponsor announcement was edited. Interesting.
Thanks for this documenti!

Wow, maybe I'm wrong about this! Thanks for the heads-up!
Orson was the brightest of the bunch.
Kitty!
Ma quanto bella era la Fallaci?
12:48 -13:05 Looks like the FCC pulled the plug on them, because of that radio station!!!
Update the title of the video. Oriana Fallaci, not Pallachi.
Oriana Fallaci
Fallaci was, in some ways, similar to Camille Paglia.
Fallaci not 'Pallachi; no? 'expert on women'?
So interesting. It's easy to see when feminism/liberalism was born, fell apart, yet still promoted!!
24:46: Plug for "The Andy Griffith Show".
When Did CBS Started Doing Network Voice over Plugs for Other CBS Shows?
Gosh! FALLACI, F-A-L-L-A-C-I...
That would be Oriana FALLACI - not Pallachi.
Buddy's hair coloring is so dark tonight !!!!
You can’t even spell Fallaci!
Hitches and fallaci
Oriana Fallaci was a real pisser, no ?
Please write her name correctly- FALLACI!! 😭
Hitches and fallaci
