On "part 4" there are also background details > on Ruth Orkin's faked (or should I say "hoax") "An American Girl in > Italy 1950". Interesting choice of words? Faked? Hoax? Why. Did those men not behave like that towards the woman coming past them? Certainly they did - it's there recorded on film. Was this "hard" journalism? Documentary? No. Does the picture represent one reality of a young american woman travelling in Europe in the 1950? Yes. So why hoax?
