Pete 'n' Tillie

Walter Matthau and Carol Burnett star in the poignant Academy Award-nominated comedy-drama Pete 'n' Tillie. An unlikely middle-aged match-up, Pete Seltzer (Matthau) and Tillie Schlaine (Burnett) are introduced through their kooky mutual friend, Gertrude, portrayed by Geraldine Page in an Academy Award-nominated performance. Tillie, a spinsterish secretary, is not overwhelmed by Pete, an exasperating punster, but they eventually fall in love and marry. Enlivened by their witty sparring, their marriage is inevitably tested by Pete's infidelity in this humorous and heartwarming story.
