    A funny and deeply moving film, the three stars are a joy to watch. Strasberg says so little, and yet he is often the center of the scene. Carney straddles comedy and drama as brilliantly as he did in Harry and Tonto. Burns is the real surprise here, holding his own, hysterically...( read more) funny, coldly calculating, heartaching in his poignency.

    Excellent. A laugh, but with a deeper meaning, the full impact of which is revealed at the end after George Burns has at last been collared.

    You'd think with this comedic talent that this would be funny. But it's really a sad story.

    One of my favorites as a kid, it's about three senior citizens who want to stage a bank robbery before they die. When they start to pass away,that's when it becomes a tearjerker.
