In this series, Monty Woolley played a washed-up New York stage actor who has debased himself to take a role on a radio soap opera. Woolley's bombastic delivery worked well here, and the writing was above average.
Agnes, the Montagues' maid, was played by Pert Kelton, who was also the first Alice Kramden on Jackie Gleason's DuMont series, Cavalcade of Stars. Her caustic delivery here is much like her take on Alice Kramden.
In this episode, Montague is lured to Hollywood to take a screen test for a movie role, something that he sees as yet another step down on the career ladder.
