In what’s the legendary Jackie Gleason’s final role in a film, Hanks plays a work-care-free ad exec who doesn’t seem to have time for family, especially his ailing father (Gleason). The picture shows Hanks in a more dramatic role, unlike most of his true-forward comedic work. The movie tends to be forgotten in Hanks’ catalog, but is worth going back to check out, especially for his scenes opposite Gleason.
