BUDDY, BUDDY
Jack Lemmon, Walter Matthau, Paula Prentiss
MGM/UA; Directed by Billy Wilder
Rated R; 96 minutes; 1981
Not since THE ODD COUPLE have Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon starred together in such an uproarious comedy. Matthau is a hit man trying to kill a star witness in a case against the mob, and Lemmon is a TV censor trying to kill himself after his wife runs off with the owner of a sex clinic. Directed by Billy Wilder ("SOME LIKE IT HOT"), BUDDY BUDDY is a witty satire that moves at an incredibly feverish pace.
