Walter Matthau

Irresistible...the prime hams and real-life friends share comic timing that can only come from years of experience.

The sort-of picture-perfection of the suburban home...is a tenuous cover for the unpredictability of life, the short distance between the American Dream and the American nightmare.

A delightfully old-school comic thriller and an unlikely romance that proved Grant—then in his late fifties—still had it.
