About Harvey Middleman, Fireman
Harvey Middleman (Eugene Troobnick), a New York fireman, lives a very ordinary life with his wife (Arlene Golonka) and children. After he rescues a beautiful girl (Patricia Harty) from a fire, he fancies himself to be in love with her, leaving his wife and seeking help, in the process, from a nutty Psychiatrist (Hermione Gingold).
Directed by Ernest Pintoff, Harvey Middleman, Fireman leans on a strong ensemble — Eugene Troobnick, Hermione Gingold, Patricia Harty — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1965.
