The Story of David Basner

David Basner, a shallow, childish yuppie recently promoted at his Chicago ad agency, returns to work from a vacation. His father, a career salesman, tells him that his wife, David’s mother, has left him after 36 years of marriage. David must now care for his aging, bitter father, Max, and support his emotionally fragile mother, Lorraine. His father is then fired after 35 years in the garment industry.

Challenges and Relationships

Although David’s ex-girlfriend, Donna, is sympathetic, she tells him he ought to “grow up.” David believes that if he became less childlike, his advertising work could be adversely affected. David is developing a commercial for Colonial Airlines, owned by the rich and bullish Andrew Woolridge. A successful ad campaign would likely gain him a partnership in his company. David develops a physical relationship with Woolridge’s daughter, Cheryl Ann Wayne. David’s father is well aware of his playboy nature and critical of his frivolous lifestyle.

An Emotional Journey

His parents each begin to rely more on David. His mother needs help moving to a new apartment. His father needs to be driven to his doctor. David is awakened late one night when his mother’s date ends badly, and she reveals that Max humiliated her sexually and was unfaithful. Confronting his father, he tells him, “Tomorrow I’m shooting a commercial about a family who loves each other, who cares about each other. I’m fakin’ it.” David becomes distracted by his attention-demanding parents, which affects his work.

Turning Point and Resolution

As a peace offering, David takes Max out to a club to hear some jazz music. He discovers that Max is severely diabetic and hasn’t been following his diet. As a result, Max may require amputation of his legs. Lorraine visits Max in the hospital and they discuss their life together, and she condemns him for his abuse. Privately, Max is overwhelmed with regret.

Woolridge insists that David accompany him to New York to promote the new ad campaign, which would prevent him from being present for Max’s surgery. When David refuses, he loses the account. His boss Charlie is sympathetic and assures him he will intercede with Woolridge, giving David time to be with his father. Max has the surgery and loses his toes and part of a foot.

When David confides in Donna about the situation at work and his father’s health problems, she gives him a sympathetic ear. He reaches out for her hand, and it’s clear that they are mutually interested again. David brings Max home from the hospital, and Max tells him, “You were the last person I thought would ever come through for me.” When David returns to his job, he takes Max along while he shoots commercials.
