The Story (Not For Publication ) Murray Burns (Jason Robards) resigns as chief writer for the obnoxious Chuckles the Chipmunk TV show and spends his time enjoying the simple things of life, which for him, includes hot pastrami sandwiches, kite-flying, visits to the Statue of Liberty and conversations with the recorded voice of the weather lady on the telephone. His apartment, which he shares with his 12-year-old nephew Nick (Barry Gordon), is cluttered with 18 busted radios, 24 worthless clocks, a Prussian helmet, a bugle, a wooden eagle, 4 pairs of binoculars, a TV set without a screen and a marvelous melange of odd junk. When the Child Welfare Bureau sends two investigators (William Daniels and Barbara Harris) to determine whether he may keep Nick, Murray first breaks up the romance between them, then finds Sandra (Barbara Harris) has fallen for him! She redecorates the apartment and urges him to find a job. Murray’s brother Arnold (Martin Balsam) has also been trying to get him back to work. An agent, he has arranged for a patch-up session between Murray and Leo (Gene Saks) who plays Chuckles the Chipmunk. But Leo proves to be so extraordinarily representative of life’s least attractive accomplishments that Murray again talks himself out of the job. He refuses to settle for less than dignity and beauty and fun in a world that is capable of producing a thousand clowns from one tiny car in a circus! Unreasonably stubborn, Murray seems destined for trouble in a world of Chipmunks — but the love and patience of Nick and Arnold and Sandra combine to influence him and we are left with the assurance that an agreeable compromise will be worked out after all.
