The Silent Partner
When a great film director accepts an Academy Award, he reflects on a comedian he worked with in the early film days, owing his success to him, not realizing that man is now destitute, watching the show on TV from a barstool. Part of the Screen Directors Playhouse series, sponsored by Kodak, and in association with Screen Directors Guild.
