Underrated Classic
I've seen this film five times since it was first released. <
>As I grow in age and watch this movie, I feel almost robbed that I wasn't either around, or old enough to appreciate the pure genius that both Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor held. <
> <
>This film is about a blind man (played wonderfully by Richard Pryor) who's down on his luck and in need of a job. Luckily for him, a deaf newsstand owner (played with all the comic gusto he can muster by Gene Wilder) happens to be hiring. <
> <
>Pryor owes a bookie big time, and when the bookie comes looking for him at his new place of employment, chaos ensues because he's murdered. Wally (Pryor) doesn't see it, and Dave (Wilder) doesn't hear it. The murderers get away and Dave and Wally are suspected. Their misson: clear their name. <
> <
>Craziness and hilarity ensue. <
> <
>Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor are two highly underrated talents before the camera. The adventures that these two poor characters go through is something that a wide audience can enjoy. The use of two ailments such as deafness and blindness is not exploited or made fun of, just used for great comic timing and situations. <
> <
>If you're a fan of great comedy, and pretty good action that features two comic geniuses, I highly suggest this film. <

The last effort that sank like a stone
Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor were one of the funniest duos in history. They played off each other's neuroses, shortcomings and antics so well. This movie has its moments, but alas, it was dampened by a weak plot and a premise too silly to be believed. <
> <
>Gene is deaf, Richard is blind. Much of that material of mishap writes itself. Richard's health was clearly deteriorating and it shows by his weight lose and lack of energy, now he's so crippled by MS he can't even talk. Gene is funny and lovable as ever, but you wonder if he's having as much fun as he's supposed to because of Richard's off camera antics. That one scene where he clearly had a hard on for that gal was pretty funny, and there are a few good one liners and scenes here and there, but it's a weak story with a dull ending. This would be the last time they would team up together, and for obvious reasons they didn't want to go back.
