Humor of its Time | “Come Blow Your Horn” @ Canyon Theatre Guild https://cahighways.org/wordpress/?p=16864

Last night, we saw “Come Blow Your Horn” at Canyon Theatre Guild. A very funny show, by someone you might have heard of: Neil Simon. Well worth seeing.

Today I’m watching “The Marrying Man” (1991), #224 on the D23 list of theatrically-released feature films made by The Walt Disney Company (released under Hollywood Pictures brand)

I’m viewing all 800+ films (that I can) IN ORDER on @DisneyPlus. But saw this on DVD

#LiveTheatre #Drama

Watched Neil Simon's 'The Sunshine Boys' last night.

It was okay.

If old vaudeville guys were really like Walter Mathau's character....wow. Count me OUT.

Unbearable. Almost enough to make me shut it off.

And no real redemption either.
