The Sunshine Boys Movie Review
|
Cast & Crew
Director : Herbert Ross
Producer : Ray Stark
Screenwriter : Neil Simon
Starring : Walter Matthau, George Burns, Richard Benjamin, Lee Meredith, Carol DeLuise, Rosetta LeNoire, F Murray Abraham,
A highly regarded yet infinitely rambling Neil Simon comedy, The Sunshine Boys is notable mainly because of the Oscar-winning appearance of an 80-year-old George Burns, who returned to the screen after more than 30 years in retirement. The movie itself is a bit lackluster (clever dialogue, but it really goes on and on and on...), with two aging ex-Vaudevillians (Burns and Walter Matthau) in a duel of tongues after Matthau's nephew/agent has hauled them out of retirement to make a quick buck. Life imitates art, no? Burns would become a bigger star than ever in later years, as the Oh God series made him, well, a diety.
Sunshine day.
