What added to the humor was that the white woman involved was Barbara Billingsley. Better known as Beaver Cleaver’s mom, June. I’m laughing just thinking about it.
I had a friend years ago who was a driver for some movie production company and one day he was her driver taking her to the set and back. Driving Mrs. Cleaver was a highlight for him. It was in that era when Airplane was made so it had a cool hip irony to it all.
