The Sunshine Boys
For the price of a movie, you'll feel like a million.
Directed by Herbert Ross
Produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
A warm, nostalgic comedy about two aging vaudeville performers learning to reconcile their differences and rediscover their bond.
Lewis and Clark, aka The Sunshine Boys, were famous comedians during the vaudeville era, but off-stage they couldn't stand each other and haven't spoken in over 20 years of retirement. Willy Clark's nephew is the producer of a TV variety show that wants to feature a reunion of this classic duo. It is up to him to try to get the Sunshine Boys back together again.
