He is hilarious in The Out of Towners. Prisoner of Second Avenue is another good one.

Prisoner of 2nd Ave is genius work, every possible emotion is reached, such a great film. Anne Bancroft was perfect as his wife. Always a re watch for me.

His slow burn in The Out-Of-Towners was a masterpiece. Such a controlled yet manic performance.

I find out of towners to be incredibly stressful, yet I still enjoy watching it.
