The Dirty Old Man

Directed by Thomas A. Power
The wisdom of age is often overpowered by the haste of youth. Occasionally age touches youth, but never as often or as well as we wish. Carlino shows us the awkwardness, the tenderness, and the pain that result from an old man and a young. girl attempting to bridge the gap. THE DIRTY OLD MAN was originally produced off Broadway in tandem with SARAH AND THE SAX under the omnibus title DOUBLETALK.
