Since I Don't Have YouEpisode Number: 6 Season Num: 1 First Aired: Sunday September 26, 1993 Prod Code: n/a |
In this comic noir, fixer-bag-man Buzz Meeks is hired by both of his bosses--the multi-talented Howard Hughes and the gangster Mickey Cohen--to find, oops, the same girl whom they have both fallen madly in love with. This quite hilarious episode, narrated by "Buzz" in flashback, is peppered with many tales about the characters that made Los Angeles in the 1950's so incredibly interesting.
Please suspend your disbelief in this episode and enjoy the ride.
