The Life of Riley is about Chester A. Riley, an aircraft plant blue-collar worker, his family and their neighbors. William Bendix took the title role in 1944, after doing mostly heavies in the films. The show quickly grew in popularity in post WWII America, as thousands of GI's were coming home to find work, buy a house and raise a family.Just like Riley. Riley is stubborn and opinionated, and knows his way is the right way. His family and neighbors think otherwise.
