" Director: Tom Mankiewicz His 2nd movie My 2nd movie watched from the director Candy is never dull, forever affable, and his comedy is enduring. What if you were a part of the world you wrote? Mediocre writing and directing, atrocious editing, inconsistent cinematography style... all attribute to this being a miss for the legend, none of which is his fault, all of which are things people may not realize can make a comedy great.
