Comedy by Neal Simon - This is the story of two elderly vaudevillians, Willy Clark and Al Lewis, formerly partners known as “Lewis and Clark”, who, having worked as a double act for some 40-odd years, grew to hate each other, and for their last year together never spoke to each other off-stage. In the eleven years since Lewis retired, they have neither spoken to nor seen each other. Clark, who was not ready for retirement, resented Lewis for breaking up the act. Now CBS is inviting the team to reunite for a special on the “History of Comedy”. They will represent the vaudeville era at its best.
