TURN OFF THE SUNSHINE

Fictionisation of Los Angeles characters and incidents, with a reportorial angle. Elderly people, Mexicans, the out of work, romance of youth and age, out of towrers, newspaper men, waitresses, Chinese, Japanese, Italians, one Indian -- subjects and ingredients for a selection of short sketches. ""Ragged individualism"" rampant as the tone follows the O'Henry tune of The Four Million.
