Jack Lemon, Walter Matthau, Carol Burnett, Susan Sarandon, all play major roles in this dark comedy about a newspaper reporter (Lemon) who falls in love (Sarandon) and decides to leave the business. The problem is that the Editor to the paper (Matthau) will not let him leave before he covers the execution that is taking place that day. There are plenty of funny twists and turns, but this movie is full of language and dark comedy. This is probably my least favorite Carol Burnett film. The one magical aspect of this movie is that you can really feel the friendship between Lemon and Matthau even though they are yelling at each other. 2 stars, it is good if you can catch it on TV but don’t waste your time waiting to see it.
