A restaurant cashier serves as front for blacklisted TV writers. He ends up getting involved in the lives of the persecution's victims.
Second viewing. Often funny, and with several memorable bits, but ultimately a sentimental film whose meaning is hard to decipher. The plot's kinship to Cyrano de Bergerac is obvious, but it upends that work's morals in an ending which seems to respond to the necessity of having a sympathetic central character.
