For Richer, For Poorer / Father, Son and Mistress (1992 Jay Sandrich)

Weirdly difficult to acquire TV movie which we saw on a DVD from the Czech Republic under the alternative title - a shame, as the film is terrific and very funny, worthy of a much wider audience. (Actually it was called Otec, syn a milenka, to be strictly accurate.)

Writer Stan Daniels has a long career writing and developing TV shows from 1959 on (Taxi, for example).

Jack Lemmon (67 playing 59) despairs at his son Jonathan Silverman's lack of work ethic so junks his multi-million dollar business to force him to find a job - it doesn't turn out so well. Talia Shire is his wife and Joanna Gleason the mistress. All cast good, including Madeline Kahn as a drifter. Silverman familiar to us from Brighton Beach Memoirs, 12:01.

Pop gives them the bad news

Lemmon kept reminding us of different people like Bryan Cranston in Breaking Bad, Paul Whitehouse and even at one point (in disguise) Walter Matthau.
