     The Out-of-Towners
1970  G  COMEDY  1h 38min
CAST— Jack Lemmon, Sandy Dennis
MUSIC— Quincy Jones  DIRECTOR— Arthur Hiller

     A comedic gem from the get-go, this fast paced farce, written by Neil Simon, stars Jack Lemmon in one of his funniest roles. He plays a business executive from Ohio who, along with his long suffering wife Sandy Dennis, travels to NYC for a job interview. Their travels are not carefree, however; in less than twenty four hours they get stranded, mugged, kidnapped, chased, accused of being perverts and communists and all manner of fun. Don’t miss out on this hilarious travelogue through New York. Final note: a word to the curious: avoid the remake.
OUR RATING— *** ½
REMADE AS— The Out-of-Towners (1999)
