Tin Men

Movie (1987)

Excellent razor-sharp comedy set in the early 1960s, starring Richard Dreyfuss and Danny DeVito as rival salesmen. The pair literally crash into each other during a car accident, and take an instant dislike to one another. But as their increasingly bitter feud spirals out of control, they find they may face a common threat as their profession - selling aluminium siding for houses - becomes the subject of a government investigation. Full of sparkling dialogue and deft character touches, Barry Levinson's film is a joy to watch. Barbara Hershey, John Mahoney and Jackie Gayle co star
