REVIEWS Review by Daniel Gaskell (posted on 3-Oct-2005) I saw this film through network television in 1984. NBC ran this several times in the early eighties, but I've only seen it once. Not quite slapstick, the plot has at least one silly character who plots to relieve Falk and Arkin from the US $100? Treasury Printing Plate. Falk plays a defecting government agent who helped with several historically large figures (JFK, one CIA director, etc.) but is unhappy with his pension. The premise is that Falk has stolen a bill plate from the Treasury and Arkin (a relative) discovers it in his basement by mistake. Wanting to correct the error of Falks' ways, Arkin travels with him to dissuade him from padding his future with authentic but illegally made bills. In the tradition of Columbo, Falk bumbles his way through dangerous but hiliarious scenes and in my senior year of High School this seemed to be the funniest film I'd ever seen.
Review by Kristi (posted on 10-Jun-2007) One of THE most hilarious comedy teams since Abbot/Costello. This film earns a ranking in the AFI's top 100 funniest fims of all time. Both Arkin and Falk are at their comedic best; the timing is natural and perfect. A tremendously funny movie; I suggest you wear Depends when viewing this film!
