An old whoopie film. My favorite is burglar; it's awesome. In the associate, laurel and frank are partners at a big wall street company. Laurel does all the work, but frank is an old time chauvinist. He calls the women all the usual nicknames, takes all the credit , and uses the male bonding tricks that worked until they didn't. Can laurel go out on her own and succeed? Tim daly was in the middle of the show wings; neuwirth had just finished cheers and jumanji. Goldberg was so well known for purple and ghost (oscar!). Keep an eye out for oscar winner diane wiest (sally)... she's probably best known as the mom in birdcage. Also keep an eye out for mrs. Cupchick... helen hanft was the little old lady in coming to america who says go on honey, take a chance! Small role for austin pendleton, from what's up doc. It's dated but fun. Whoopie in curlers. Directed by donald petrie. Novel by jenaro prieto.
