Country: USA
Year: 1974
Duration: 115'
After being kicked out of his Upper West Side apartment in New York, Harry, a seventy-year-old widower, doesn’t go live in the suburbs at his son’s house; instead, he buys a used car and heads off on a coast to coast journey with Tonto, his red cat. Encounters, eccentricities and paradoxes in an unusual on-the-road movie, veined with melancholy and warmed by the stubborn sense of humor of Mazursky (perhaps the best film he directed) and of Art Carney, a stage and tv actor who gained silver screen fame (and an Oscar) in the 1970s.
