The Out of Towners (The Out-of-Towners)
1970 · Movie · 97 min. · United States
Written for the screen by Neil Simon, The Out-Of-Towners is witty, uproarious movie that keeps moving at Simon´s unusal frenetic pace. Incredible mishaps occur when a middle-aged Ohio couple fly to New York City for the husband´s job interview. Jack Lemmon and Sandy Dennis are perfectly cast as the frustrated and overwhelmed duo. Their plane can´t land; they are rerouted to Boston; their luggage disappears; and the hotel cancels their reservations. The list is endless, and Lemmon tries to retaliate by threatening everyone with a lawsuit.
