Title: the dreary 1970s
Review: Most of the first 15 minutes of this movie is Alan Arkin mumbling to himself about his lousy life. Then, thankfully, Sally Kellerman shows up, sans a bra---but its still more Broadway play talk, and no action.Not only set in dreary 1970s NYC, but with few sets or characters---which is why this movie was made; it could be made for cheap.Alan Arkin is severely half bald, zero hair in center, close-cropped at sides; no Bruce Willis, or even Leon Errol, cool baldness. If anything, Arkin, with a mustache and owning a restaurant, seems like the inspiration for Artie, the restauraunt owner in THE SOPRANOS!Directed, poorly, by Gene Saks; he was married to Bea Arthur.Dreary 70s movies like this is why STAR WARS and BLAZING SADDLES became such big hits---audiences were starving for fun.
