...vaudeville duo named Lewis (Sam Levene) and Clark (Jack Albertson). Clad always in pajamas and bathrobe, Clark lives alone in one of Manhattan's rundown hotels and is sustained by TV, soup and a weekly copy of Variety brought to him by his solicitous nephew-agent Ben (Lewis J. Stadlen). Clark particularly relishes scanning the obits in the show-biz bible ("Bernie Eisenstein...he was Rodriguez in the dance team of Ramona and Rodriguez...
