The Man in the Funny Suit
The Man in the Funny Suit( 1960) is a television drama detailing the agony endured by actor Keenan Wynn while helping his father, comedian Ed Wynn, play a serious role in the original television production of Rod Serling's" Requiem for a Heavyweight".
" Requiem" was the elder Wynn's first dramatic role after decades of comedy.
When Wynn flubbed a line or was uncertain of how to proceed, he would fall back on his old comedic catchphrases and jokes, mostly out of habit.
As" Requiem" was an intense drama scheduled for live broadcast, this caused much consternation and worry among the staff and cast.
When the time came for the show, however, Ed Wynn surprised everyone with his flawlessly heartfelt performance.
The Wynns, Ned Glass, Maxie Rosenbloom," PLAYHOUSE 90" announcer Dick Joy, Ralph Nelson, Serling, and Red Skelton play themselves in this installment of" The Westinghouse Desilu Playhouse", originally broadcast on 15 April 1960.
" The Man in the Funny Suit" was written and directed by Ralph Nelson, the director of both the original 1956" Playhouse 90" television" Requiem for a Heavyweight" and the later 1962 movie version, which stars Jackie Gleason and Mickey Rooney in Keenan and Ed Wynn's roles.

After his 1972 success with "Deep Throat", Damiano shot the film in a converted apple-packing plant in Milanville, Pennsylvania.
Along with "Deep Throat" and "Behind the Green Door", the film is associated with a time in American culture known as "porno chic", in which adult erotic films were just beginning to be widely released, publicly discussed by celebrities (like Johnny Carson and Bob Hope) and taken seriously by film critics (like Roger Ebert).
The film's plot was inspired by the 1944 play "No Exit" by French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre. "
The Devil in Miss Jones" went on to spawn numerous remakes and sequels.
As with many films of the Golden Age of Porn, the copyright status of "The Devil in Miss Jones" is unresolved.
VCX claims a copyright; rival distributor Arrow Productions distributed unauthorized copies of the film for a time before 2009, when (as part of a mutual truce between the companies) Arrow agreed to accept VCX's copyright claim in exchange for not challenging Arrow's copyright claim on "Deep Throat".
