The second film in Barry Levinson’s Baltimore tetralogy is set in 1963 when aluminum siding salesmen, the tin men of the title jacked up prices and earned enormous commissions. In this screwball comedy, two salesmen (Danny Devito and Richard Dreyfus) literally collide into each other in a fender bender while driving their shiny new Cadillacs. Each blames the other and thus begins an escalating feud between two men who resent and desire what the other has. “It is a brilliant, touching, and hilarious reminder that the crazy jerk who just rear-ended us is only another confused soul trying to find his way home” –Peter Keough, The Chicago Reader.
