CGiii Comment
With 2 macho-screen legends, it is hard to see the CGiii - BUT - 2 old robbers/cellmates are released from prison after 30 years - all those years together...
Although not stated, you just know they were bumming each other from day one.
It's all very harmless and cutesy - but the gay bar sequence and all the other characters are just a little hard to digest.
Legends they may have been...

The(ir) Blurb...
Harry and Archie are released from prison ready to collect their Social Security. How could they get into trouble at their age? Let's count the ways; A parole officer who is a famous criminal groupie, Dead end where people don't know they are dealing with dangerous, though older, criminals, a hit man who can barely see, but who still has an outstanding contract on them. Does anyone still rob trains?
