Die Sunny Boys (1975)
Der in die Jahre gekommene Schauspieler Willy Clark hält sich mit kleinen Rollen über Wasser, die ihm sein Manager, Neffe Ben Clark, kostenfrei vermittelt. Jedoch ist Onkel Clark recht anspruchsvoll und macht es seinen Mitmenschen mit seiner cholerischen Art nicht leicht. Eines Tages vermittelt Ben ein Treffen mit Willys altem Partner Al Lewis. Dieser ist im Gegensatz zu Willy ein ruhiger und besonnener Zeitgenosse. Ebendieser Charakterzug bringt Willy auf die Palme und sorgte seinerzeit, mehr als 40 Jahre zuvor dafür, dass sich die beiden zerstritten und ihr Bühnenstück abgesetzt wurde. Letztlich gelingt es Ben Clark doch die beiden Streithähne wieder zusammen auf die Bühne zu bringen, aber die Zusammenarbeit gestaltet sich ebenso schwierig, wie all die Jahre zuvor.
