The film traces his life from a in boyhood poor Naples to his great Beatrice Gross Every fall the networks set out their shows, like so many prize pies at a country fair, and the critics sample them. Some newspapers rate shows on a humor scale from three to twelve (supposedly representing the age of the audience that will be was reading how this amused ) Ironically, while seasons fare is again pandering to escapists happened to watch three programs impulses," which deny the myth that TV is all froth.
