Review - Harry and Walter Go to New York

Proof of the old rule: The more famous actors who are in a movie you've never heard of, the worse the movie is. Everyone overacts and acts like buffoons throughout this mess. There was a bit of humor at the end when Harry and Walter pop on stage during a play and start making up the plot and song and dance routines to make it last longer so Lissa and the others could blow the safe, but even that went on too long.
