Author! Author! review damns Pacino film as mishandled comedy
A critical take on Author! Author! by JOAN E VADEBONCOEUR calls the Al Pacino led comedy a major disappointment. Israel Horovitz's script and Arthur Hiller's direction fail to blend theater life with domestic chaos, leaving Pacino miscast in broad timing and humor. Dyan Cannon and Tuesday Weld deliver notable turns amid a fluttering plot and wry lines, while Bob Dishy and Alan King are underused.
