The Sunshine Boys ; Neil Simon's (1975)



Released  November 6th in the US.
Filmed in New York and California.
The story: Back in the day, Willy Clark was a famous vaudeville star and part of a duo with fellow comedian Al Lewis.
The two have not spoken to each other in twelve years.
Willy's nephew Ben is a talent agent, who handles Willy and is trying desperately to get him to work.
But Willy is too stubborn to land anything.
When the ABC network decides to put on a television show of comedians from over the years, Ben offers them, Clark and Lewis, which they accept.
Although the real accomplishment will be getting the two men to be civil with each other long enough to get any work done.
