Stir Crazy By Tom Keogh
Sidney Poitier directed--without much distinction, sorry to say--this
1980 comedy teaming Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor as New York knuckleheads
who try their luck in California and are accused of robbing a bank. Most
of the laughs concern their survival strategies in prison (at one point,
Wilder decides to "reach out and talk" to some hulking murderer)
and their plans to escape. Both performers are so brilliant in any
situation that they give this film plenty of funny moments (one or two of
which became instantly classic), but this is not exactly a film for the
ages.
