Does the Mae West PTP Interview Survive?


Mae West was interviewed by Murrow for PERSON TO PERSON in 1959 but evidently CBS found her sex talk too frank and refused to air the program. Does a copy of the interview survive anywhere?

I read a VARIETY review of the episode once which quoted some of her remarks that led to the decision to pull her appearance. They were suggestive but would be tame by today's standards. So that VARIETY review is your best bet for a description of the episode, if you can find it.
