Description

Abe Ravelstein is a professor who has lived much beyond his means. His close friend Chick suggests that he put forth a book of his convictions and much to his surprise, he does and becomes a millionaire. Ravelstein suggests in turn that Chick write a memoir. But, the mood turns somber once Ravelstein succumbs to AIDS and Chick himself nearly dies.
