The Life of Riley
Gleason Collection
THE LIFE OF RILEY (1949) has an interesting history for that it is remembered, if at all, solely as the role created by William Bendix. This in part is true, for that Bendix did originate the role of Chester A. Riley on radio in 1944. Although it's been said that he was unavailable to star in the TV series in 1949, he did get to star as Riley in the 1949 Universal-International movie version of that same name with Rosemary DeCamp as his wife, Peg. As for the TV series, the Dumont network substituted the unavailable Bendix for the not-so-well-known Jackie Gleason as Riley. After 26 episodes, the series was cancelled in early 1950.
Starring: Jackie Gleason, Rosemary DeCamp, Lanny Rees, Gloria Winters, Sid Tomack
