late one night on tom snyder tomorrow show and i watch tom ask his guest henry morgan what he consider to be perfect . morgan respond and anything with glenda jackson . and although i wouldn not consider this film to be perfect and it do bear out that notion very well . i be about to use the cliché about hollywood not make picture like this anymore and but then i just saw and up in the air and another intelligent film about 2 people over the age of 35 who fall in love . that where the similarity end and though . house call be just sheer fun watch 2 pro like matthau and jackson hit it off and seem completely natural while theyre at it . i saw this film in the theater in 1978 ( at the ripe old age of 18 ) and it take me another 20 year to get all of the joke . any film that can make punch line out of 1920 tennis great bill tilden and and british prime minister neville chamberlain wouldn not play too well at the megaplex these day . one other think represent the original theatrical release feature a walk on the beach or fall in love montage set to the beatles or george harrison tune and something . it seem a bit force at the time and but that song have since be swap out for a rather generic henry mancini music cue for subsequent home video and cable release . too bad and because that scene just lay there now and another victim of music licensing hell .
