- Bill Nighy
- Catherine Zeta-Jones
- Toby Jones
- Tom Courtenay
- Michael Gambon
- Blake Harrison
- Daniel Mays
- Bill Paterson
plus Sarah Lancashire, Mark Gatiss, Alison Steadman, Annette Crosbie, Ian Lavender and Frank Williams who were in original. not a bad cast.
Bill Nighy is always good.
Cast in the film is good I was talking about the lost episodes. Main problem with the film is that the script is dire.Quote:

A New Leaf, 1971...

The film was well received by critics. On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 94% based on 68 reviews, with an average score of 8.1/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "Elaine May is a comedic dynamo both behind and in front of the camera in this viciously funny screwball farce, with able support provided by Walter Matthau."
Roger Ebert gave the film four stars out of four, and described the film as "hilarious, and cockeyed, and warm." In his review for The New York Times, Vincent Canby called it "a beautifully and gently cockeyed movie that recalls at least two different traditions of American film comedy... The entire project is touched by a fine and knowing madness." The film was placed at #2 on Gene Siskel's list of the best movies of 1971.
Matthau again with his old sidekick...
The Front Page, 1974.

Vincent Canby of The New York Times thought the story was "a natural" for Wilder and Diamond, who "have a special (and, to my mind, very appealing) appreciation for vulgar, brilliant con artists of monumental tackiness." He continued, "Even though the mechanics and demands of movie-making slow what should be the furious tempo, this Front Page displays a giddy bitterness that is rare in any films except those of Mr. Wilder. It is also, much of the time, extremely funny." He described Walter Matthau and Austin Pendleton as "marvelous" and added, "Mr. Lemmon is comparatively reserved as the flamboyant Hildy, never quite letting go of his familiar comic personality to become dominated by the lunacies of the farce. He always remains a little outside it, acting.
