Allen Responds to Farrow's Abuse Claims in Letter

[red dog 1]

60. I remember seeing that 1992 "60 Minutes" Interview

And I remember thinking at the time of the interview, "this guy Kroft doesn't seem to believe Woody Allen."

As your transcript shows, Woody did, indeed, take Mia's threats seriously, yet Kroft's questions
show that he, Kroft, did NOT seem to take the threats seriously.

Woody Allen:
."She threatened my life many times..she called me and threatened my -- she's threatened to have me killed and to kill me......and to stick my eyes out..."

Kroft: Did you take it seriously?

Allen:
"When you get a phone call at 4 in the morning saying that you're going to be killed and that your eyes are going to be put out.."

Kroft:
"Was there ever a time when you started to think, maybe she means some of these things?"

At this point in the interview, I remember thinking that Kroft didn't seem to be LISTENING to Woody Allen....and Kroft's kept asking the same question over & over
"Did you take it seriously?"...."Was there ever a time when you started to think, maybe she means some of these things?"

It reminded me of Bob & Ray's "Kimono Dragon" bit, where Ray Goulding asked questions but didn't listen to the answers Bob Elliot gave him.

Thanks for posting this.
