Storyline
Lewis and Clark were famous comedians during the vaudeville era; off-stage, though, they couldn't stand each other and haven't spoken in over 20 years. Ben, Willy Clark's nephew, is the producer of a variety show that wants to feature a reunion of the classic duo. How will Ben convince the crotchety old comedians to put aside their differences before the big show?Movie Reviews
Superb version of the
early 1970's comedy by Neil Simon about two aging comics, who hate each
other, who try to patch up their relationship for a comedy tribute.
Matthau is right on, but it's Burns who steals scene after scene. Just
watching all that talent makes the picture! Richard Benjamin is also
very good as Matthau's agent and nephew. Keep an eye out for F. Murray
Abraham and Howard Hessemen.
