A little skimpy (most/all American Masters from this time were limited to an hour, I think) but very worthwhile. Marc Connelly, "the last survivor", appears shortly before his death and there's a moment where he's a prick sans wit to a waiter off-camera that seems like a perfect picture of where the legend ends and the human being begins. Or maybe just being an old son of a bitch and not giving a shit
