The Value of Names
Benny Silverman, a retired, successful actor, seems to have surmounted the bitter time in his life when his good friend Leo Greshen "named" him in front of the House Committee on Un-American Activities. Benny's flourishing career was nearly destroyed, and his comeback was slow and painful. The two men haven't spoken since. But they are forced to deal with each other 30 years after the fact, when Benny's daughter wins a career-making role in a hot new play Leo is directing.
An L.A. Theatre Works full cast performance featuring:
Hector Elizondo as Leo Greshen
Garry Marshall as Benny Silverman
Sally Murphy as Norma Silverman
Directed by Gordon Hunt. Recorded before a live audience at the Guest Quarters Suite Hotel, Santa Monica in May of 1995.
