The In-Laws (1979 Arthur Hiller)

Writer Andrew Bergman had written two novels set in forties Hollywood and co-authored the script known as 'Tex X' which became Blazing Saddles. This was his first solo and it's a nutty comedy-thriller with Peter Falk and Alan Arkin, set in New York and Guatemala (which is apparently governed by the 1917 Treaty of Guacamole, or some such nonsense).

With Richard Libertini who we know from All Of Me, Nancy Dussault, Penny Peyser, Arlene Golonka, Ed Begley Jr, James Hong, David Paymer (as a taxi driver).


Andrew Bergman is nothing to do with Alan and Marilyn Bergman.
