The Out-of-Towners
Hiller directed two comedy films in collaboration with playwright Neil Simon. The first film was "The Out-of-Towners" (1970), starring Jack Lemmon and Sandy Dennis, who were both nominated for Golden Globe awards for their roles. Their next collaboration was "Plaza Suite" (1971), starring Walter Matthau, which was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture. Both films were driven by intense comedy dialogue and were considered "crisply directed" by reviewers.
