Jeff Goldblum is in this! Jeff Goldblum off of Jurassic Park and The Fly and The Fly II and other stuff but those movies in particular were ace.
The Prisoner of Second Avenue is a black comedy about Mel and Edna Edison. It's the 1970s, Mel has lost is job and sunk into a funk about his failure to provide for his family during an economic downturn and with the trails and tribulations sending him into a spin.
Stoic Edna played by a much underrated Mercedes Ruehl, picks up the pieces as Mel heads for a meltdown. So basically, Jeff Goldblum losing it on stage to a stellar script by Neil Simon.
