Alan Alda + Lily Tomlin


Perfect movie couple.
Have they been a couple in other movies? They just seem so right together.

They weren't a couple, but they were both on The West Wing! I agree, they were the best thing in the movie.

I was just thinking that my one criticism of this movie is that I wish we would have seen more of them in it. They make a huge impression but don't get much screen time. I wish they would have spent a few days at their house, maybe have Mel's adoptive parents show up and stay the night.

Totally agree. The movie could have been 45 minutes longer easily. I was shocked at how little screen time they had after watching it again many years later because they were what I remembered most about the movie.

I just realized two things. 1) i replied to my own post and 2) i come back to this movie/imdb page every year or so. Just watched again!

It wasn't a movie but Tomlin and Alda had worked together before, in television. In 1973 Lily Tomlin had a television special on CBS and Alan Alda was her special guest. At the time he was starring in MASH.

They were both tv stars in the 70s.
