Dancing Through Life
20 September 2017
A handsome middle aged Mambo instructor moves in next to the Kramdens. When Ralph and Ed find out he is truly handsome and polite, they fear he wants to commit some dalliance with their wives. One afternoon, our tubby bus driver comes home and all the neighbor women are dancing in their apartment. Carlos, the dancer, is instructing them. They become downright hostile, but he has some interesting words for them, involving respect. But the writing is good and things end up with a unique twist. Gleason gets to dance the mambo which to him is that strange kind of prancing about that he does. We are given a picture of how important women are to these men and what chauvinists they truly are.
