A magnificent cast - James Caan, Michael Caine, Elliott Gould, Diane Keaton, Lesley Ann Warren, Charles Durning and Burt Young - and a talented director, Mark Rydell (Cinderella Liberty, On Golden Pond), are along for the ride in this colourful comedy about two vaudeville comedians and would-be bank robbers in and out of jail in 19th century America. Unfortunately, thanks to a disappointingly pallid script, almost none of it works.
