SinaiFree Film Society Discussion, "The Sunshine Boys"

07 Aug @ 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm

The SinaiFree Film Society will discuss “The Sunshine Boys.”

Al Lewis (George Burns) and Willy Clark (Walter Matthau) are a pair of feuding vaudeville comedians who performed together for 47 years and haven’t spoken to each other for the past 20. A network executive has the brilliant idea of reuniting the duo for a TV special about the history of comedy. Once the reunion is on, the sparks and one-liners start to fly with equal speed. Can Lewis and Clark put aside their differences long enough to collect one last paycheck? Neil Simon based his screenplay on his hit Broadway play.

The film can be streamed for free on Kanopy and Tubi (with ads). It can be rented for $3.19 on Amazon, and $3.99 on Apple TV, Fandango at Home and Spectrum. There are five DVDs in the Westchester Library System, and three DVDs in the New York Public Library.
