Almost a cross between Citzen Kane and Edward My Son. - The title
character dies in the first reel - then we learn about him through
interviews with those who knew him - we never see his face, but we do
hear his voice briefly.
Ed Eynn shows what a great actor he was - but all are in top form; Jim
Backus, Dean Jagger, Jose Ferrar, Julie London and the lot.
also a great inditement of television (at a time when it was still a
sacred cow)
Also - still trying to track down "The Woman Hunt" from 1972 -
for a friend - honest!
