Mr. Saturday Night -- Buddy Young was the comic's comic, beloved by everyone. Now, playing to miniscule crowds in nursing homes, it seems like everybody but Buddy realizes that he should retire.

From his earliest days headlining in his parents' living room to the golden days as America's favorite television comic, Buddy Young, Jr. remains in a class by himself. With the help of his brother/manager, who's always ready to catch him when he falls, Buddy's hilarious back-stage climb-to-the-middle is studded with witty one liners and rapid-fire routines that will always leave you laughing even as they touch your soul.

The title role gives dazzling Robert Lindsay a screen-debuting showcase. His coal miner/wannabe movie star Bert Rigby is all-singing, all-dancing, all-laughing as he delivers dead-on impersonations of Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin. Plus delivers pizza, trims trees and copes uproariously with other "between-acting" jobs that plague Tinseltown hopefuls. The Reiner/Lindsay teamwork is a light footed lark that you'd be a fool to miss.

Two rivals in the "tin game" meet in a fender bender.

Cruise back to Baltimore 1963, to the time and turf of a rare American breed: the "tin man" (aluminum siding salesman). Two less-than-honest rivals in the tin game (Richard Dreyfuss and Danny DeVito) meet in a fender bender, but their bruised egos and quick tempers turn the minor accident into a major vendetta against each other's symbols of success -- their prized Cadillac's. In what would seem to be a coup de grace, Dreyfuss decides to seduce DeVito's neglected wife (Barbara Hershey), but this romantic maneuver causes nonstop twists and turns to both the heart and the funny bone. With a supporting cast that's absolutely classic and music by The Fine Young Cannibals, TIN MEN sounds as good as it looks!

Woody Allen's a two-bit Manhattan theatrical agent with a client list only a freak show promoter could love. His "ace in the hole," though, is sonorous crooner Lou Canova (Nick Apollo Forte). To assuage Lou's titanic ego (and keep him as a client), Woody must escort the singer's mistress, Tina (Mia Farrow), to Lou's club dates. One mishap follows another in this gem of a comedy.
