The Toy

Richard Pryor and Jackie Gleason star in this outrageous comedy, based on a 1976 French film, about a multimillionaire (Gleason) who hires a writer working as a janitor (Pryor) to be a human plaything for his bratty son. You can imagine how the outrageous comic might react to being purchased, but in this more family-friendly outing, his character finds a golden opportunity to teach some lessons about real friendship. With Ned Beatty, Teresa Ganzel. 102 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Uncompressed PCM mono; Subtitles: English (SDH), Spanish.
