The Human Comedy - William Saroyan - Screen Guild Theater - Mickey Rooney - Frank Morgan

Homer is a 14-year-old boy growing up fatherless in California during World War II. His oldest brother is off fighting the war, and Homer feels he needs to be the man of the family. To make money, he takes a job as a telegraph boy: sometimes he has to deliver the news to a family that a son has died in the War. Yet Homer also keeps up his normal life, going to school, to church, and to the movies.

The Human Comedy is a 1943 American comedy-drama film directed by Clarence Brown. It is based on the 1943 William Saroyan novel of the same name, but Saroyan actually wrote the 240-page screenplay first, left the film project, and quickly wrote the novel and published it just before the film was released.

The Screen Guild Theater is a radio anthology series broadcast from 1939 until 1952 during the Golden Age of Radio. Leading Hollywood stars performed adaptations of popular motion pictures.
