Stage and screen icons Ossie Davis and Walter Matthau star in this excellent adaptation of the heartwarming, offbeat, Tony Award-winning play about two sharp-witted codgers regarding the changing world from their Central Park bench. Davis plays Midge, approaching 80 and threatened with retirement from his gig as a janitor in the building where Nat - played by Oscar winner Matthau - resides. Nat, ever the smooth con artist, tries to fend off Craig T. Nelson, playing a drug dealer encroaching on their park,and befriends a dope addict, played by Martha Plimpton. Amy Irving co-stars in this pleasing, intelligent comedy-drama.
