Ira Wells, private eye. As portrayed wonderfully by Art Carney, hes a broken down but still sharp as a tack old school detective in the vein of Robert Mitchum's Philip Marlowe. Hes a dinosaur from the 40s trying to help a quirky young woman, deftly handled by Lily Tomlin, in her troubles, as long as they both dont get killed and the bad guys get what they deserve. Ive always been curious about this film and im glad i picked it up. Very well written and acted, with great direction by Robert Benton.

I bought this movie because I wanted to know what the deal was with Letterman and Leno. It seems both wanted the Tonight Show after after Carson retired and NBC chose Jay Leno. He did a wonderful job for 17 years, and now because of the bottom line at NBC, Jay was forced out because a clause in Conan's contracts said IF he wasn't given the Tonight Show by a certain date he would quit NBC (Personal opinion)It is rumored 5 or 6 million was the fee IF he didn't get the Tonight show. INHO they should have paid up and kept Jay where he belongs behind the desk of the Tonight Show. There is lot of discussion about Jay's new (CST) 9:00 PM would cut out one or more scripted dramas who usually are on at that time. That would be the hour leading up to our local news. We plan to see Jay, then the news and then on to David Letterman. I love Jay and I think he is a wonderful everyones guy, not snooty like other successful stars. Dave isn't as good of a comedian as Craig Ferguson whose show is owned by Dave's Worldwide Pants, but I WON'T BE WATCHING CONAN. He is a silly, not funny man. I tape his show only when he has a special guest on. After Dave we continue on CBS and watch Craig Ferguson. Now there is a man who is lots of things that audiences want, he is handsome, he has a lovely accent, he is a fly by the seat of his pants kind of guy, so his show is free wheeling and you never know what to expect. I love his layed back way of interviewing his guests. Some of his skits are sort of lame but all in all the show gets a 10 star rating from this middle aged lady. My husband loves Jay and Craig, Dave he can stand. I was working when this movie came out so I had never seen it before. To be sharp at work I had to be in bed by 10 PM, CST, so no late night shows for me then. I have since retired, re-married and have 3 Tivos, 1 DVR on DirecTV, and watch whatever I want,The Late Shift when ever I want. So it is no big deal with our home, we record and watch at a time that is good for us.
