I remember it, but don't recall all the details

(mild spoilers)

This was a memorable episode of the Chrysler Theater that has always stuck with me.

It concerns a deceased famous author, and his last days, told in flashback to a group of tourists visiting his villa. The great author found, as so many others do, that greatness does not insure happiness.

I recall his referring to ordinary men as "Jimmies," who have jobs at garages, and never, ever dream of greatness. Apart from that, I'm drawing a blank, except for having loved the program. If you could help me out with info on the plot, etc., that would be much appreciated.

If anyone recalls any further details, I'd love to read them!
