The In-Laws 1979

The 1979 version of The In-Laws is a comedy starring Peter Falk, Alan Arkin, and Richard Albertini as General Garcia.

Sheldon Kornpett (Alan Arkin) is a New York City dentist and Vince Ricardo (Peter Falk) is a CIA agent, and Sheldon’s daughter is marrying Vince’s son.

But 48 hours before the wedding Vince gets Sheldon involved in a zany misadventure that sends them into Central American to confront a dictator (General Garcia) ─ who puts them in front of a firing squad.

I haven’t seen the movie in about ten years ─ until today ─ but I watched it more than 100 times over the years. That’s how much I love this movie. One of my all-time favorites.

I’m America’s Best Crime Writer – Barry Bowe – & I approve this message.

My first book – Born to Be Wild – was published in 1992 and is still selling on Amazon & Kindle. it’s a true story about certain members of the Warlocks motorcycle gang.

The story took 21 years to play out with many twists & turns. It’s an amalgam of Sons of Anarchy and Breaking Bad – but these outlaw bikers make the Sons look like Cub Scouts.
