This sounds great..I can't wait to see it!
I love Peter Falk ( there was life before and after Dear Mr.Columbo) and Falk has had a very colorful professional career.After reading the description, the role will be pefrectly suited to Falk, and the otehr actors I fell have the right role. I beleive it's going to be fast and witty, make you guess until the end what's going to happen to who? Whose going to change the most out of this comedy?Even in comedy,there's something gained.
Look at this portion:
The next morning...Smells of a massive breakfast wake them.
A spry Morris (Falk) chats about everything except what Flo calls “My big fat Jewish suicide.” Things are calm...till Morris sees Barry’s new TV spot for Apple Motors. Barry intones: “To B…MW or not BMW” KABOOM! Morris loses it. Not only is Barry selling “Nazi cars” and changing his name but now he’s also defiling Shakespeare!
Rhonda defends Barry. He didn’t change his name he just shortened it. Morris sneers. He’s sure Wayne Bobbit’s wife said that when she cut his schvantz off!
or this:
Enough! Rhonda drags Lisa and Jason and an angry but conflicted Barry out of the apartment just as DR. SHELDON HENNING, 35, comes to the door. Sheldon manages to be both African-American and Jewish. He is also a match for the canny Morris. Or he would have been if Morris hadn’t escaped down the dumbwaiter. Which he does just as DR. WESTON FOYT arrives. Foyt’s not a match for anybody. But then, he’s not a therapist. His Ph.D.’s in fine art and he’s shaking with excitement because he’s there to appraise the “The Applebaum Collection.” The Applebaum what? Remember Reva’s tush? The Applebaum’s circle of friends included a number of starving artists who knew a great piece when they saw it. They pleaded with Morris and Reva to let them immortalize “the most perfect derriere on Earth!” Reva thought it was hilarious. Turns out it was also a hell of an investment. Some of those starving artists “became” Picasso, Klee, Chagall and others. Their masterpieces of her butt cover the walls of what Morris calls “The Tushy Room.” (One of many reasons the kids never had any friends over). But Morris would never sell them…Unless…No! Now they’re worried. They must find him!
Read the rest for yourself...if they stick..it will be great fun to watch,and a must add to the DVD collection...
