Editorial Reviews: Amazon.com Arthur Hiller (ILove Story/I) directed the film adaptation of Neil Simon's curious comedy about a pair of non-New Yorkers (Jack Lemmon and Sandy Dennis) having a hellish visit to the Big Apple on the eve of a job interview for Lemmon's character. Made in 1970, this hectic film almost seems ahead of its time when compared to more recent misery-piled-on-misery comedies such as IPlanes, Trains, and Automobiles/I. The couple in this film endure everything that can go wrong on a trip, including being forced to spend the night in a mugger-happy Central Park. The strange element in Simon's script, though, is that Lemmon's character is so unpleasant. A middle-class, uptight guy who can't believe that New Yorkers in the service profession don't perform their jobs slavishly, he's kind of a one-note joke that quickly wears thin. Remade with Steve Martin and Goldie Hawn. I--Tom Keogh/I Product Description AN OHIO BUSINESSMAN AND HIS WIFE FLY TO NEW YORK AND HAVE NOTHING BUT TROUBLE FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS.

She had wanted to have it, so I got it for her. We watched it together. It was fun watching it. It's one of the best movies for 60s or early 70s. The performances of Lemmon and Dennis make this a must-have comedy!!! March 14, 2010 Matt Tawesson (Macomb, IL, USA) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful Jack Lemmon and Sandy Dennis play George and Gwen Kellerman, who are on a trip to New York City from their hometown of Twin Oaks, Ohio so that George can get to a very important business meeting the next morning. They board their flight, and are on their way, but a number of things go wrong for George and Gwen shortly later on. The things they go through are the kinds of things that no out-of-town traveler wants to deal with. It is non-stop comedy all the way, and Jack Lemmon and Sandy Dennis play their characters to the hilt (I don't think any other famous two actors could have played these characters as humorously as Lemmon and Dennis did in 1970). I did see the remake from 1999 with Steve Martin and Goldie Hawn as the title characters. They, as well as the updated remake were funny also, but I don't think that it could hold a candle to the original. "MURPHY'S LAW AT ITS WORST" March 8, 2010 John H. Robinson III 1 out of 1 found this review helpful I remember seeing "The Out-Of-Towners" on TV years ago and I just saw it again yesterday(March 7th) on cable(TCM). Poor guys! "Murphy's Law" sure had a grand "field day" with those two! The Out-of-Towners February 24, 2010 Neville O. Millar (Davie FL) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful br /Very satisfied with prompt and efficient service. br / br /Item arrived ahead of time specified. br / br /Seller deserves high marks! A fun romp, Lemmon is outstanding January 31, 2010 EugeSchu (WI USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful Jack Lemmon brings so much energy and conviction to the screen that he makes it a 5-star movie. Not Simon's best joke writing, but he is rather ingenious in the non-stop travails that befall this hapless couple. The running gag of taking names may wear on some viewers, but I had to laugh each time at Lemmon's neurotic ranting and bluffing. Early 70s N.Y. is a far cry from the extravaganza it is today, and one scoffs at the "great depression ii" malarky dished out last year, we have it pretty well. To get back on point, Lemmon once again gives a masterful performance that takes no prisoners... even though he nearly lands himself in jail!! Go go go baby!!
