Television program with host Robert Brustein, actor and Professor of drama at Columbia University, who looks at the typical characteristics of the new North American hero, the downtrodden uneducated proleterian rebel, as he is so often portrayed in recent plays and movies. Brustein traces him back to "Yank" in O'Neill's "Hairy Ape" of 1922; later to "Joe" in Odet's "Golden Boy"; then to "Stanley Kowalski" played by Marlon Brando in Tennessee Williams' "Streetcar Named Desire"; "Hal" in William Inge's "Picnic"; and "Johnny" in Gazzo's "Hatful of Rain". Scenes from these plays are recreated to illustrate Brustein's character analysis of what he calls the "hesitant hero". <30mn>
