The entire affair is essentially an homage to P.I. flicks of the &#8217;40s and &#8217;50s, with good use of diverse city locales, a host of dicey characters, and the presence of a MacGuffin (Tomlin&#8217;s cat). The primary reason to watch this good-hearted film, however, is for the lead performances by Carney and Tomlin, who are perhaps one of the oddest would-be romantic couples on-screen, and who perfectly represent the culture clash between &#8217;40s old-school demeanor and &#8217;70s New Age wackiness. Unfortunately, Benton&#8217;s plot is ultimately too convoluted for its own good, and prevents <em>The Late Show<\/em> from being essential viewing &#8212; but it&#8217;s still well worth a look. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Art Carney as Ira Wells<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/Late-Show-Carney.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/Late-Show-Carney.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"853\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-68044\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/Late-Show-Carney.png 853w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/Late-Show-Carney-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/Late-Show-Carney-128x72.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/Late-Show-Carney-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/Late-Show-Carney-480x270.png 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 853px) 100vw, 853px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Lily Tomlin as Margo Sperling<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/Late-Show-Tomlin.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/Late-Show-Tomlin.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"853\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-68043\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/Late-Show-Tomlin.png 853w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/Late-Show-Tomlin-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/Late-Show-Tomlin-128x72.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/Late-Show-Tomlin-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/Late-Show-Tomlin-480x270.png 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 853px) 100vw, 853px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Eugene Roche as Birdwell<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/Late-Show-Roche.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/Late-Show-Roche.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"853\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-68042\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/Late-Show-Roche.png 853w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/Late-Show-Roche-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/Late-Show-Roche-128x72.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/Late-Show-Roche-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/Late-Show-Roche-480x270.png 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 853px) 100vw, 853px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>The amusing May-December rapport between Margo and Ira<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/Late-Show-Rapport.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/Late-Show-Rapport.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"853\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-68046\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/Late-Show-Rapport.png 853w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/Late-Show-Rapport-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/Late-Show-Rapport-128x72.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/Late-Show-Rapport-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/Late-Show-Rapport-480x270.png 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 853px) 100vw, 853px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Good use of authentic L.A. locales<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/Late-Show-Los-Angeles.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/Late-Show-Los-Angeles.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"853\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-68045\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/Late-Show-Los-Angeles.png 853w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/Late-Show-Los-Angeles-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/Late-Show-Los-Angeles-128x72.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/Late-Show-Los-Angeles-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/Late-Show-Los-Angeles-480x270.png 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 853px) 100vw, 853px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See?
