This is a short feature intended to boost interest in the filmed version of THE SUNSHINE BOYS but for the fan of old movies like me, the treat is seeing footage from a Friar's Club dinner that was conducted to, seemingly, be used in clips for this.
We get to look at some people who are now dead, not only people like Alan King, and the movie's stars and director, but particularly Joe Smith of Smith and Dale, the comedy pair whose act inspired this film.
The print that runs on Turner Classic Movies is a bit bedraggled, the sound is not so good and the picture is blotchy, but it's still good to see.
