    Storyline

    • Trivia
      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 Burns and his real (late) wife and legendary stage partner Gracie Allen.
    • Goofs
      Joe and Al leave Kennedy Airport in full daylight - yet don't arrive in Las Vegas until well after dark, an impossibility for a direct flight heading five hours west during the summer months.
    • Quotes

      Willie: What if we get shot?

      Joe: [Silence] What's the difference?

    An excellent film.
    This is one of my favourite films. In takes turns as a comedy and as a drama. All three men play outstanding parts and the film balances itself quite well between funny to downright sad without ever going over the top. Definitely one to see.
