Directed by Ralph Nelson
S2 • E14    Apr 14, 1960    60m
In 1956, viewers saw Ed Wynn give a moving performance in ""Requiem for a Heavyweight"" on the Playhouse 90 series. This program shows the tense drama which unfolded behind the scenes, when Ed's son and co-star Keenan Wynn feared that ""The Perfect Fool"" would be far from perfect in his first straight dramatic role.
