Amazon.com essential video:
Neil Simon's Broadway hit about an effort to reunite a pair of aged vaudevillians for a TV special is both funny and poignant, thanks to the inspired casting of Walter Matthau (perhaps the consummate Simon actor) and George Burns (who kicked off something of a career comeback with this Oscar-winning role). They play a former comedy team who split up years ago over disagreements about how the act should be performed and, more importantly, over their conflicting views about the importance of show business versus that of life. Matthau is hilarious, sometimes touchingly so, while Burns remains a master of comic economy. Richard Benjamin is also good as Matthau's nephew who brings them back together. This was remade for television with Peter Falk and Woody Allen. --Marshall Fine

Based on Neil Simon's popular Broadway play, this 1975 film directed by Herbert Ross (The Turning Point, Footloose) pairs the legendary comic talents of Walter Matthau and George Burns as two old-time vaudevillians who could never stand the sight of each other. The two curmudgeons are roped into appearing on a television reunion special, and they find themselves rehashing the same arguments they had 50 years earlier. Burns came out of retirement for this role and won an Oscar for his work as the laconic half of the duo, while Matthau shines as the ham-handed antagonistic egomaniac. One of Neil Simon's snappiest creations has been energetically brought to life in this enjoyable comedy, and it's a rare opportunity to see two legends in finest form. --Robert Lane

Very funny and touching Neil Simon movie. Matthau and Burns snipe and argue and finally appreciate each other.I thought this movie superior to the TV version with Peter Falk and Woody Allen. Rent it. Buy it. Watch it. It's terrific.

Again, Walter Matthau is wonderful. George Burns is a perfect foil for him! How do comedy teams manage to stay together, and what are the dynamics of the members? Very well done! Neil Simon has the golden touch!!

Relative the the vendor who sold me this used copy...The description was accurate. The disk is pristine.

This comedy from 1975 holds up very well, thanks to the sharp writing of Neil Simon, which is spoken by two seasoned pros, Matthau & Burns. George Burns made an incredible comeback at the age of 79, racking up an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor on his first try. His character of the reasonably sane but unintentionally bullying Al Lewis was the perfect counterpoint to Matthau's crazed & cantankerous Willie Clark, who gets lost downtown for a commercial audition, terrorizes his former partner during ...

Walter Matthau and George Burns comedically show what some partnerships can be like. It is not to say that all partnerships are carried off in the same manner; but, there could be a bit of truth in what they portray.
This movie will keep the viewer happy and laughing all the way through to the very end.
