Synopsis of The Honeymooners: A Matter of Life and Death
First telecast on October 29, 1955, "A Matter of Life and Death" is the one in which Ralph is convinced that he is dying of the dread disease arterial monochromia. In truth, his medical examination has become confused with that of his mother-in-law's ailing collie dog, but Ralph and Norton don't know that; to make certain that "widow" Alice will have enough money to live on, Ralph sells the story of his "fatal" illness to American Weekly magazine. Upon learning that he isn't doomed after all, a nervous Ralph tries to get out of his magazine contract -- by having Norton pose as an eminent, Oxford-educated physician. Best line: "Don't touch me, I'm sterile!" Familiar Honeymooners supporting player George Petrie appears as magazine publisher Mr. Gershe. "A Matter of Life and Death" was written by Marvin Marx and Walter Stone. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
