Synopsis
Demarest appears in the series as William Harris, the owner of the nearly bankrupt Harris Music Publishing Company in Tin Pan Alley in New York City. Stubby Kaye co-starred as promotion man Stubby Wilson. Jeanne Bal appeared as Pat Baker, William's daughter. Murray Hamilton was cast as attorney Steve Baker, William's son-in-law, and the Bakers' young daughters, Susan and Jennie, were played by Susan Reilly and Jennie Lynn, respectively. Kay Armen portrayed Sophie, the secretary who became engaged to be married as part of the plot of the series.
According to the script line, Harris, an old-time music publisher, has made his daughter a partner in the business, but he hates burgeoning rock and roll, which presumably might bring him prosperity. Pat tries to convince her father to promote more modern music, but he prefers the old songs. At home, Harris and the Bakers live in the same apartment, a situation often creating humorous conflict between the father-in-law and the son-in-law, as in one episode when the two conflicted on the cleanliness of their dwelling.
Love and Marriage aired at 8 p.m. Eastern on Mondays following Richard Diamond, Private Detective and preceding Tales of Wells Fargo. It ran opposite CBS's popular western, The Texan starring Rory Calhoun and the alternation of the second half of Shirley Temple's Storybook and Clint Walker's Cheyenne western series on ABC.
