...just stubborn enough to keep at it for hours. Says Frank Sinatra, whom Kelly directed in On the Town: "The guy just never heard of exhaustion." But he has heard about charm, and he can crack the whip without stinging the ego. When he teamed up with Jackie Gleason to film Gigot in 1961, the trade waited expectantly for the Great One to unload his celebrated wrath on the demanding director. Instead, Kelly had Gleason puffing up and down a flight of stairs like a trained St. Bernard and Jackie begrudgingly tacked a reminder on his dressing-room door: GENE...
...price tag. Well what is it, for heaven's sake? Nothing less than their own golf tournament, with the boys and their pals putting up the cash and getting the whole thing named after them. It's all two-bit Nassau, though, compared with what Jackie Gleason, 51, has in mind for 1970: an annual $500,000 Jackie Gleason Open to be played at his $15 million Miami "golf stadium," which will have terraced, three-level walkways beside all fairways and greens to accommodate as many as 36,000 spectators on every hole.

...JACKIE GLEASON SHOW (CBS, 7:30-8:30 p.m.). The Great One winds up his twelfth TV season with appropriate fanfare: an outdoor show before 12,000 people at Florida's Gulfstream Race Track, featuring Cornetist Bobby Hackett, Singer Dick Roman, Saxophonist Charlie Ventura, a high diver, a trapeze act, and an aerialist performing beneath a hovering helicopter...
...more satisfactory. The top-rated Nielsen shows for 1966-67 are either tired adventure series such as Bonanza and Dragnet or low-IQ sitch-coms on the order of Beverly Hillbillies and Bewitched. The only steady programs that offer the hope of entertainment are Old Standbys Red Skelton, Jackie Gleason, Ed Sullivan and Dean Martin-and movies, for which TV can claim no creative proprietorship. The only spice in the schedules are the sporadic specials, many of which are first class; to their credit, the networks next season will produce 300 such programs, including two Truman Capote adaptations...
