There is nothing really gay about his deceiver. As played by Ugo Tojnazzi, he is a victim of his own capacity for compassion; it saddens him that all three of his families cannot be unit-id-not for convenience' sake, but for love. Instead of heaving a sigh of relief when Marisa leaves him to go home, Sergio pursues her-and gets beaten up in rescuing her from her angry peasant family. Though his premiums are soaring, he insists on taking out equal insurance policies for all three women. To make ends meet, he begins moonlighting as a jazz...
What makes them run? "Something inside that was always denied," sigh the Beatles in She's Leaving Home, one of the most popular cuts from their latest Sgt. Pepper album.

Jones easily qualified the car at 166 m.p.h., and competitors cried foul. Among them was Andretti. "If that car is going to be allowed to compete it should be in a special class," Mario grumbled. "There's just no way a piston can compete with...
Frequently, he uses an expression that disassociates him from the proceedings: a visual sigh suggesting that this dame is boring the life out of him, too; or a shake of the head, wondering where the devil this geek got all that garbage. He is often at his best when his material is worst-a handy knack for a man who has to come up with 60 laughs a minute. When a gag clunks to the floor, he'll say: "Never buy jokes from people on streets. Give 'em a quarter but never buy a joke from...
