An old man and his cat travel across America
following his eviction from his New York apartment.
An amiable character study from
director-writer Paul Mazursky, like a charming mix between a Federico Fellini-Woody Allen film.
Art Carney caused a huge surprise by winning
the 1974 Best Actor Oscar, though his passive character is more interesting than the performance itself.
