Synopsis:
Joey Casale is thirty-four years old, the youngest of a family of six children; except for a brief period of glory during the war, he has stayed at home all his life, never held a steady job, and lived on the allowance his father has given him. His father is a self-made man, generous with all his children, outwardly very fond of Joey and of anna, the eldest daughter who lives at home and keeps house for her father and brother.
