The Laugh Maker 1953

Jackie Gleason and Art Carney star in this amazing character study of a comic. Carney is a journalist who doesn't like 'stars' too much, he's assigned to write a story about the bigger than life comedian Jerry Giles. Should note this is a live recording and one of the earliest attempts at live-television-drama. These two giants mainly remembered for the comedy especially the long running show they did together "The Honeymooners", here perform in this drama with nothing but pure force.
