Trivia:
In the scene where Joe (George Burns) is looking through his old photos and other memorabilia, he looks at a photo of a young couple - presumably Joe and his wife - and it makes him start to cry. The photo is actually a picture of George Burns and his real (late) wife Gracie Allen. They were a famous show business team from vaudeville through early television. She died in 1964. moreGoofs:
Revealing mistakes: The license plate on the hearse is the same as the license plate on the car in which Art Carney's niece and nephew picks Art Carney up in after they hear the unfortunate news. moreFAQ

The movie is well thought out and acted. One can't condone their method to break their bored lifestyle but the movie does it in such a way as to be funny and, in a way, understandable. My only complaint is that a musical soundtrack wasn't made available.
