Richard Pryor’s New Movie Keeps Audience In Stitches During the past few weeks there has been s lot of buzzing going around about Columbia Pictures’ latest release, “The Toy.” After viewing the movie myself I can honestly say that the buzzing hasn’t been for nothing. Starring Richard Pryor and Jackie Gleason “The Toy” is a comedy that _mildly_comments—on friendship, teaches a focuses on laughter. Pryor plays Jack Brawn, an unemployed journalist who is in such a desperate need for money that be agrees to become a toy for U.S .Bates’ (Gleason) son (Scott Schwartz). Aa al ways Pryor leaves ’em laughing but be also shows he’s a multi-talented actor. A fine performance is pulled off by Schwartz alias Eric Bates as he finds a friend in Pryor and a father in Gleason. “The Toy” is now play ing at the Park Terrace Theatre. WHICH WAY IS UP You can enjoy Richard Pryor is one of his older movies and let the the laughter roll. He’ll be star ring in “Which Way Is Up” O’clock Movie on Channel 18.
