About this movie

Jack Lemmon and Sandy Dennis are perfectly matched as the hapless Kellermans of Twin Oaks, Ohio, in Neil Simon's tumultuous comedy hit. The top candidate for a prestigious promotion at his company's corporate headquarters in New York City, George (Lemmon), accompanied by his wife Gwen (Dennis), is all set to take a bite out of The Big Apple -- only to quickly discover that The Big Apple can bite back! Their dream trip to the big city turns into a nightmare of diverted flights, forfeited reservations, missed trains, sinister strangers, paralyzing strikes, lost luggage ... and uproarious laughs for all who experience this hilarious screen classic, directed by Arthur Hiller ("The Hospital," "Silver Streak," "The In-Laws"). Beware the man in the black cape!
