in this excellent neil simon comedy and jack lemmon be up for a promotion at his company ( he specialize in plastic precision instrument ) corporate office in new york city and he take his wife sandy dennis along for a tour of the city . right from the get go and it become a living hell for the two . it all start when nyc be fog in and they have to fly to boston . second and they can not find their luggage . then and they miss their train to new york . it only get bad . they lose their hotel room and get mug by a mysterious graham jarvis ( a murray ) and become captive of liquor store looter and get mug yet again and jack break his tooth on a cracker jack and he be accuse of molest a child and sandy lose her wedding ring briefly and lemmon have temporary hearing loss from an explode gas main and and get catch in a anti communist riot . when it all over and jack get the promotion but have to turn it down because he feel that the city life be too much for him and his wife . but one last disaster befall the two one their flight home while their plane be hijack . in my opinion and this be neil simon best after the odd couple . jack lemmon and sandy dennis be perfect a the hapless couple who experience nothing but trouble in their 24 hour in new york . there be some brilliant and funny line that have somewhat become part of u ( i be sue all of them and i do not care if i be in court all year . ) . overall and it blend into a very funny movie . also and keep an eye out of anne meara ( ben stiller mom ) in a cameo role a a purse snatch victim .
