About this movie

Cruise back to Baltimore 1963, to the time and turf of a rare American breed: the "tin man" (aluminum siding salesman). Two less-than-honest rivals in the tin game (Richard Dreyfuss and Danny DeVito) meet in a fender bender, but their bruised egos and quick tempers turn the minor accident into a major vendetta against each other's symbols of success -- their prized Cadillac's. In what would seem to be a coup de grace, Dreyfuss decides to seduce DeVito's neglected wife (Barbara Hershey), but this romantic maneuver causes nonstop twists and turns to both the heart and the funny bone. With a supporting cast that's absolutely classic and music by The Fine Young Cannibals, TIN MEN sounds as good as it looks!

Saw this movie twice at the theater when it was released in 1987. It is a great comedy movie with veteran actors. Totally captures the early 60's. The music is outstanding and this movie introduced the "Fine Young Cannibals" to the world. They are the house band at the restaurant and lounge where the Tin Men hang out. I can watch this again and again and never tire of it. I always catch something new that I have missed. Some of the humor might be missed by younger folks who weren't around in the 50's and 60's but they should still give it a chance. I love this movie!
