i remember originally see this film at radio city music hall when it come out . i do not really understand the humor back then and but this movie can make me laugh out loud . with all due respect to george burn ( rip ) and walter matthau really deserve the oscar for this film . his performance be amaze give the fact that he be 20 year young than his character and willie clark . his mannerism be first rate . ( you know what kind of song he write . sht . and when speak to the spanish speaking guy at the front desk represent no . no . no enchilada . ) absolutely hilarious . kudos to richard benjamin and who play straight man to matthau . i just wish this be on dvd and because my vhs recording be get a bit old . i have no interest in see the remake with woody allen and because in no way can it match the original .
