Gleason

The product of a fractious Brooklyn childhood, capped by the abrupt desertion of his ne'er-do-well father, Jackie Gleason launches his show business career with the motto "Never depend on anyone." Yet because of his multitude of insecurities, he demands total loyalty and 100-percent devotion from everyone around him. Trouble is, he has no loyalty or devotion to give in return.
