The Out-of-Towners

We've all taken trips we wish we could forget.  They start out with great hope and awesome plans, not to mention mouth-watering meals you can't wait to enjoy with a loved one.  But somehow, these getaways never quite go as planned.  And sometimes, we end up wishing we had never left home at all.  Such is the case for George and Gwen Kellerman in this 1970 comedy classic scripted by Neil Simon.  Within 36 hours, the couple loses their luggage, is mugged twice, is forced to sleep in Central Park and ends up forfeiting their only form of sustenance to a Great Dane with a hankering for Cracker Jacks.  And that's just a taste of what goes wrong in this comedy of errors starring Sandy Dennis and the legendary Jack Lemmon.   Some have called this hellish and hilarious comedy a "hate letter to Manhattan," but really it's a celebration of the city that tests your survival skills on a daily basis.  So get ready to laugh at the misfortune of others and remember not to stand on steaming manholes in Midtown.
