Notes: -
Synopsis: Structured like a piece of popular entertainment: songs, puppets, parodies of movies. Charley's a subway conductor, night shift on the I.R.T. Typical night: Charley's fight with middle-aged scavenger who wants Charley's Daily News; silent dialogue with blonde in whisky ad; Graffiti Kid who sprays car and sometimes passengers. . - Typical day at home: Mary doing housework, Ella doing homework. But a visit to the doctor - and Charley gets the death warrant. Rare blood disease? We're never told. How long? Months. What's Charley feeling? Cheated. Through poker-playing scenes with his buddies at the local garage, family scenes and strange subway encounters, grotesque, sometimes comic scenes, we see Charley struggling to regain control of his life or at least understand what's happening. At one point there's a musical recreation of the '39 World's Fair, when Charley and Mary were young lovers.
