This is a funny movie about two old childhood "frennemies". All of their lives they were best friends until one fell in love with and married the others girl friend. Walter Matthau and Jack Lemon play these two old friends, both widowers, and neighbors who have been feuding for the past forty years. Lemon is having IRS problems and is ducking them. Matthau, his neighbor, has never forgiven him for marrying his childhood sweetheart almost forty years ago. Suddenly, Ariel moves in across the street. She is this 50-ish, beautiful, totally liberated, flaming redheaded widow, and both guys instantly fall for her. The war for her affections begins! Both guys spend most of their time ice fishing from their respective shanties on the frozen lake. They are both going nuts trying to look like they aren't interested in her, until she apparently chooses Lemon. When Matthau accuses him of trying to take another girlfriend, Lemon feels guilty about taking Matthau's girlfriend from years ago, he backs off, leaving Ariel dismayed and hurt. Matthau thinks that he won the battle, and at the prompting of his son, the town's mayor, on Christmas Eve, attempts to mend bridges with Lemon. An argument ensues when Matthau begins bragging about winning Ariel's affections, and Lemon admits backing off. Lemon leaves the bar and suffers a heart attack out in the snow. Matthau finds him and gets him to the hospital. Ariel rushes to his side and all three now know who has really won. Matthau realizes that their friendship is more important than any "beefs" they have. Matthau, with the help his son, the mayor, helps to resolve Lemon's IRS problems, and Lemon and Ariel get married. This was a good movie.Read full review

Excellent condition. Enjoy watching it. We have relatives who have never seen this movie so we cannot wait to watch it with them. My husband loves to ice fish so he really loved this movie. We have looked for it in the stores and I guess because it is an older movie, it is hard to find, so of course we turned to ebay.
Looking for an old movie for my dad and he was thrilled to get it. Fast service and easy to find on half.com
