Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Michael_Elliott See No Evil, Hear No Evil (1989) *** (out of 4)Richard Pryor plays Wally, a blind man. Gene Wilder plays Dave, a deaf man. The two meet and quickly become friends as it seems they complete one another but they are accused of a murder and must take off and try to solve the mystery of who the real killers are.SEE NO EVIL, HEAR NO EVIL was the third of four films between Pryor and Wilder and I must say that it very well might be their best. If you go back and read some of the original reviews for the movie, it somewhat took a beating by many who said blind and deaf people shouldn't be made fun of. I agree with this but at the same time both actors turn in wonderful performances and I would argue that they say a lot about being handicapped and show both the blind and the deaf in a positive manor. Of course, this is a comedy and it does feature Pryor and Wilder so one should expect jokes and there are a ton of them here and I'd say that the majority of them work. The comic genius of both actors is on full display here just by the way they bounce off one another whether it be a physical joke or just a matter of timing. Just take a look at the opening sequence where the two bump into one another and a fight almost breaks out even though they are unaware of the other one. The timing between the actors are just flawless here.I'd also argue that both of them are very believable in their parts. This is especially true for Pryor who gives one of the best examples of a blind person that I've seen. Wilder also deserves a lot of credit for how he played the deaf man. Joan Severance, Alan North and Kevin Spacey are also good in their supporting parts. The director keeps the film moving at a very nice pace and as I said, the majority of the jokes work extremely well.There's no question that the success of SEE NO EVIL, HEAR NO EVIL falls back on Pryor and Wilder. Both turns in fabulous performances and make this film what it is.

Charles Herold (cherold) I saw Silver Streak in 1976, thought Richard Pryor was great, and yet it took me 40 years to get around to watching one of the other movies he made with Gene Wilder, because they just didn't look promising to me. And judging by See No Evil, Hear No Evil, my instincts were right.The basic idea is cute. A blind guy and a deaf guy are co-workers who kind of witness a murder, only the blind guy just hears it and the deaf guy just catches sight of the killer's legs. Soon they are beset by suspicious cops and the killers.There are some cute moments in this movie, as when blind Pryor is losing a fist fight until dead Wilder gets behind him and acts as his eyes, or a somewhat amusing scene involving Wilder's mug shot.But not much of the movie is particularly funny, while most of it is irretrievably dumb. About halfway through I started just fast forwarding looking for funny bits, but I could find any until a brief, quite amusing sequence in which two blind guys have a shootout.Wilder and Pryor were fantastically talented people; it's a shame they couldn't get better behind-the-camera talent to get the best out of them.

oOoBarracuda See No Evil, Hear No Evil was the third collaboration between Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor. The 1989 film directed by Arthur Hiller was a comedic goldmine of a story where a blind man and a deaf man must rely on each other to clear their names as they have been wrongly accused of a murder. The third time was a charm for the Wilder/Pryor duo as they turned in another comedic standout with this film. Never short of laughs or story, See No Evil, Hear No Evil is a treat for audiences 27 years after its release. Dave Lyons (Gene Wilder) runs a convenience stand inside a hotel in New York and just happens to be deaf. 'Wally' Karue, (Richard Pryor) is a man down on his luck who answers Dave's ad for a job opening, and just happens to be blind. Feeling a kinship to one another, Dave hires Wally and the two work together. Everything goes smoothly for the men, what Wally struggles with, Dave helps, and what Dave struggles with, Wally makes up for. When a murder is committed in front of Wally's stand while his back is turned, he turns around just in time to see the murderers legs, and Wally comes in just in time to smell the murderer. Together they are the perfect witness to the crime until they are the ones accused of committing it. Eager to prove their innocence and escape police custody, hilarity ensues in the unique way that only Wilder and Pryor can deliver. There were some wonderfully funny scenes in this movie. The premise of two men having a difficulty in which they need the other to drive a car, or have a fist fight was a great concept for a comedy. For an interesting bit of trivia, Gene Wilder passed on this script multiple times because it was initially poorly written and riddled with inaccuracies. When he finally accepted, he prepared for the role by meeting with a woman that would later become his wife. The writing must have certainly approved, no doubt with Wilder's influence as he was a credited writer on the finished product. What comes through in the finished piece was wonderful, and full of subtly funny scenes that became a mainstay in a Wilder/Pryor film. This film used to be my favorite film of the four that Wilder and Pryor worked together on; it has since been replaced with Silver Streak, but it is still a fun turn every time one watches it. Wilder's character was as good as ever, only going to prove that, like a fine wine, Wilder's acting only improved with age.

adonis98-743-186503 A great chemistry brings a great film they don't make them like this anymore that's for sure. You have a guy that can't hear anything and another one that can't see i know it sounds pretty crazy but that is why the movie works probably the most original film ever made i never doubted Richard Pryor's acting and for sure he was a great actor and roles like this was great for him but to be fair i never wanted to see him in Superman 3 but still he did a pretty good job in both films but mostly in this one. Definitely a great comedy that has some mature dialogue, nudity and hilarious one liners. 80's movies at their best also the late Gene Wilder gives a great performance as well and let's not forget a young Kevin Spacey years before Se7en.
