Mr. Saturday Night

Billy Crystal stars, co-wrote, produced, and made his feature film directing debut in this bittersweet chronicle of 50 years in the sometimes hilarious, sometimes sad life of an acid-tongued comic named Buddy Young, Jr. The film focuses on his early Catskills stints, relationships with his brother-manager (David Paymer) and wife (Julie Warner), successful television career, and fall from grace. Helen Hunt, Ron Silver also star. 119 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono.
