Synopsis

The best way to describe “The Sunshine Boys” is twice. The first time to have a good laugh, the second time to have another good laugh – at everything you missed the first time! When a certain wellknown American director saw three consecutive funny lines in a play he was directing, he immediately cut the first two. If we were to give this play the same treatment, we’d still be left with a third of a play … and still have good value.
