Harry and Tonto

Posted on February 11, 2007June 13, 2020 by Village Vidiot

  “Harry and Tonto,” 11 February 2007, DVD.  We’d watched most of this 1970s film, having forgotten how risqué it is, before our 12-yo daughter pointed out it was R-rated. Well, we blew it, but it’s a good film. Retired, old Harry (Art Carney) goes on the road with Tonto, his cat. A fun, playful road movie that stands up remarkably well after more than 30 years. Carney is wonderful, Josh Mostel shines as his grandson, and the rest of the supporting cast, including Chief Dan George and Larry Hagman, are excellent. We really enjoyed it but realized we’d gone too far with its discussions of drugs and sex. The 70s really were different. So were we.
