A one sided interview with a 73 year old, almost the stereotype maiden lady. As the interview progresses the stereotype feeling falls away and what you see is a cultured, intelligent, entertaining lady. Her 'confession' at the close of the interview surprises but does not shock, and that in itself is a powerful lesson in how wrong programmed response to stereotypes is, not to mention the stereotypes.
