By Hyman Goldberg, photos by Jack Downey
“Maria Montez Wants to Do a Movie with Clothes.”
“Some day,” said Maria Montez, a far away look in her hazel eyes, “maybe they will let me make a movies with clothes on.”

“Miss Montez wanted to know what was so terrible about Brooklyn that everybody made fun of it…”
“Orson, she said, “is wonderful…”
