Bill Macy, who played Walter on "Maude," is in a terrific, underappreciated movie, "the Late Show," in which Lily Tomlin gives what I think is her best movie performance--the script gives her a real character and real dialog and she takes it from there. Nice video choices--Statler and Waldorf! Lovely, many thanks.
