I must have seen this back in the 1990's and I remember how it made me feel good back then. So on the other day I was looking for something to watch and there were those blockbuster movies and I wasn't in the mood to see a Marvel or DC superhero tear up a city while ignoring the countless civilian casualties. I decided to watch something from my own youth and I remembered this little gem and I have to say that it has aged very well and would not need to do a remake. Considering that this movie is based on a novel that is over a hundred years old is a testament to how good it is. Steve Martin plays a serious role but his sense of humour bleeds out and manages to make you smile.
