Billy Crystal In Person! 20th Anniversary! CITY SLICKERS, 1991, Warner Bros., 112 min., Dir. Ron Underwood. In this amiable hit comedy, Mitch Robbins (Billy Crystal) and his friends Phil (Daniel Stern) and Ed (Bruno Kirby) sign on for a two-week cattle drive to add a little adventure to their humdrum urban lives. On the trail, they meet veteran cowhand Curly (Jack Palance), who, despite his intimidating persona, teaches these “city slickers” the insights and courage they need to get their herd of cattle to its destination (and to resolve the issues each is having at home). Palance won a Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this performance. [35mm]Discussion following with Billy Crystal moderated by Geoff Boucher of the Los Angeles Times and HeroComplex.com.
