Happily I can't remember the end that Elaine May disliked so much, but it didn't hurt my memory of the laughs. Both May and Matthau are as good as they get, and Matthau's car is a particular delight. The change in Matthau's character is completely believable. I don't understand why this gem is so generally overlooked. Perhaps it is because neither star is a STAR, but it's a pity.
