 Sept 1965

Canada has apparently struck. back at the "sex -and -violence drain" as represented by United States television programs imported to this country. It's reported that Procter & Gamble Ltd. pulled its sponsorship out of one episode of a Canadian - made soap opera showing on NBC television stations in the U.S., "because it deemed a scene too sexy for. identification with a P & G product."

The withdrawal evidently concerned a July 20 episode of Moment of Truth, produced by Robert Lawrence Productions Ltd. of Toronto and also shown on the CBC Television Network. The questionable scene consisted of a seduction sequence climaxed with a blackout. Undaunted, P & G is said to be planning to up its participation in the show from four to five minutes a week, beginning this month.

Feb 1965 discussing a location sequence

DIRECTOR JIM GATWARD OF Robert Lawrence Productions discusses the car -crash scene for an episode in Moment of Truth,. a videotape daytime serial running on the CBC television network in Canada and NBC in the U.S. Actress Lynn Gorman (Mrs. Walter Leeds in the story) practices looking cracked - up. To get a realistic sequence the RLP production crew had to search southern Ontario for a slightly bent version of the 1965 Dodge Monaco regularly used in the program. Smashing up a perfectly good car didn't strike the producers as the best way to reduce costs. The right car was found by a fluke. Scenic artist Fred Geringer took his car in for minor servicing and spotted a shattered model of a Monaco on the service station lot. The Moment of Truth was series originated by RLP and sold to the networks last December
