What happens
Luigi Basko, a newly arrived Italian immigrant studying at night school, is invited to a get-together at the home of his teacher, Miss Spaulding. His friend Pasquale Pascuali, who hopes Luigi will marry his daughter Rosa, is keen for the young man to spend time with her and to feel closer to his Italian roots. Luigi is also eager to be included in the gathering, and the party is planned with its guests and food. The episode is part of the Life with Luigi comedy series, which was originally broadcast on February 28, 1950, starring J. Carrol Naish.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
