"Pretender" is the name of a program Joe Frank produced as part of the series Work In Progress.


Synopsis

Joe narrates a slide show of his life. He describes having an affair with fellow teachers: a woman with scars on her face who later marries a rich man, a woman who has her teeth capped, a half deaf hypochondriac librarian for whom he later pretends to be obese, an overweight woman who goes to gyms. "History is other people," and ending up "only a teacher." The fictionalized story of Marmouth, illegitimate son of the king and pretender to the throne of England, who lead a failed revolution in 1685. The story is interspersed by the song "the great pretender." Slide show includes women in nude magazines. Woman speaks a brief second person monologueto her lover. Sounds of battle.
