This presentation, which I saw on HBO many years ago, had so much more energy than the film. Richard Thomas proves here that he can handle comedy, and Bess Armstrong is a very fine comedy actress! There's plenty of witty humor accented by some physical slapstick that kept me laughing virtually the whole time.
The supporting cast is great, led by Barbara Barrie.
In the Redford/Fonda version, the actors seemed to just go through the lines without giving them much meaning. Neither Redford or Fonda seemed to be able to handle comedy as it should be done.
This version is probably very hard to find, but if you do, I heartily recommend it!
A solid 10, while the Redford/Fonda film gets a 6.
