REVIEWED By Marjorie Baumgarten, Thu., Aug. 9, 2001
One of the very best pairings of Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor, this movie is a fun blend of comedy and murder mystery aboard a moving train. "Rock 'n' Reel" is a weekly outdoor series of music and movies. Each movie is preceded by a music set beginning at 7:30pm, this week featuring R.C. Banks. Bring lawn chairs.
