⭐ Featured Review

Not a great film, but not bad either...
by Tazjas1999-02-04
7/10

"The Survivors is not the Best film of any of the casts' careers, but I found it pretty funny for the most part. Matthau's sticks to his grouchy old man routine and Williams to his manic everyman. The rest of the cast is OK. There is a little social commentary which is a little dated by now, but still. I liked it...."

💡 Did You Know?

Walter Matthau replaced Joseph Bologna in the co-starring lead role of Sonny Paluso. The 30th November 1982 edition of show-business trade paper 'Daily Variety' reported that Bologna left the production after about two weeks of principal photography due to "creative differences". The 7th December 1982 edition of the same publication announced Matthau would be joining the cast taking over Bologna's part.
