Insight Sundays: Don't Let Me Catch You Praying (1966)

 Do racism & paranoia always go together?

In today's society, maybe, given how certain politicians act like the world's ending just because they don't like how minorities are progressing in positions of authority. They feed their fears to the president, and, well, you know how that goes these days.

In 1966, Insight offered "Don't Let Me Catch You Praying", a morality play about a local businessman (Edward Andrews, ex-Broadside), whose paranoia about an African-American family moving into his neighborhood gets the better of him. Our cast also includes future soap icon Ruth Warrick, Phillip Abbott (The F. B. I.), Henry Corden, who would recur on The Monkees during this period, and Sean McClory ("The Quiet Man").
