Details
Movie Description
Wally (Richard Pryor) is blind. Dave (Gene Wilder) is deaf. When Wally goes to work at Dave's New York newsstand, they find themselves in an unusual and dangerous situation when a man is murdered right in front of them. Unfortunately, Dave has his back turned, and Wally can't see! As fate would have it, they become suspects, and the bad guys will stop at nothing to keep them from blowing the lid off the case. Director Arthur Hiller once again reunites the formidable comic presences of Pryor and Wilder, who starred in his 1976 film SILVER STREAK.
Synopsis
Several years after their smash hits "Silver Streak" and "Stir Crazy," Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder reunited for this slapstick thriller.
On the day that blind Wally takes a job for deaf Dave, they both "witness" a murder: one catches the scent of the killer's perfume, and the other gets a fleeting look at her. Soon these two handicapped -- but proud -- men form an unlikely partnership to clear their names, catch the culprit, and retrieve a precious gold coin.
Because of their respective disabilities, however, it will be anything but a conventional investigation.
Film Notes
Filmmaker Arthur Hiller previously directed Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder together in 1976's "Silver Streak."
Color by Technicolor.

Los Angeles Times - Kevin Thomas (05/12/1989)
