The third pairing of comic actors Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder was much less successful than their previous team-ups, Silver Streak(1976) and Stir Crazy (1980). Wilder plays Dave, the deaf proprietor of a newsstand and employer of blind gambler Wally (Pryor). When Wally's bookie is shot and killed at the stand, Dave and Wally are arrested for the crime. Since the deaf Dave had his back turned and didn't see the crime, while the blind Wally only heard it, the clues they have to offer the police

How the mighty have fallen!
Passable, but nothing but a shadow of previous Pryor/Wilder comedies.
You'd do well following this film's advice - don't see or hear it.
The Pryor/Wilder magic is nowhere to be seen or heard here.
Hilarious movie about a guy who is blind and a guy who is deaf who are accused of murder. Good plot and cast.

Wilder and Pryor's last film together, but they were still hilarious together, they made an excellent team. If you like them, you should see this movie.
