The Philco Television Playhouse

A middle-aged butcher feels trapped in his mundane life, struggling to break free from his overbearing mother's grasp and pursue his own desires for independence and romance.

A 36-year-old butcher, Marty Pilletti, lives with his mother and struggles with low self-esteem, feeling he's too ugly for anyone to want him. Despite his loneliness, he's hesitant to pursue relationships due to peer pressure and his mother's constant reminders to find a nice girl.
