That Girl: Call of the Wild

That Girl: Call of the Wild

Milton Pascal's last TG script has Ann hired for a soap commercial by a director (Jesse White in his first of five TG appearances) because she's wholesome-looking, although the director ends up sexually harassing her in her apartment.  In between, Ann doubts her sex appeal, and neither her father nor her boyfriend know how to react to that.  As often happens on the show, what could be tasteless is actually intelligently handled, with the wholesome girl and her wholesome series tentatively dealing with changing mores while keeping her and its integrity.
