Tin Men (1987)

I saw Tin Men back when the movie reached the theaters and I still think of it as a memorable vehicle for Richard Dreyfus and Danny DeVito. In the 1960s, "tin men" sold the first residential aluminum siding but were little better than car salesmen -- their job was to hang out together whether there was a sale in the offing or not -- and it seems like most of the time they were out playing pool, out drinking, out pulling pranks, or even out shtupping a competitor's wife. If you like movies about an earlier America, Tin Men may not be as nostalgic as Radio Days but it's about as ribald and definitely more raucous. Enjoy! 3.5 stars.
