Why are businessmen the “most convenient heavies” on prime time television dramas? Through clips from TV shows and interviews with some of TV’s most prominent writers, producers, and stars, this documentary examines the origins of the negative stereotype and its long-term effect on the viewing public. Hosted by Eli Wallach.

Juicy and provocative.

Cheers . . . a dandy little documentary.
