All Of Me (1984)

A struggling attorney (Steve Martin), who really wants to be a jazz musician, is assigned to a wealthy spinster (Lily Tomlin) as a client by his law firm. When she realizes she is dying, she arranges to have a mystic (Richard Libertini) transfer her soul into the beautiful body of her stable hand's daughter (Victoria Tennant). But an accident causes her soul to enter the attorney's body thus having two people in one body. Based on the novel ME TWO by Edwin Davis and directed by Carl Reiner (THE JERK). This comedic gem serves as a showcase for Steve Martin's talents and he's never been better. It's the kind of performance that should have won awards if there weren't such a prejudice against comic actors. It's okay to praise a dramatic actor like Dustin Hoffman for a comedic performance in TOOTSIE to show his versatility but when an actor known for comedy gives a superlative performance, they get overlooked in Hollywood. Martin and Lily Tomlin have a wonderful comedic chemistry that helps make the far fetched plot if not believable then more than good enough so that we don't care. Blissful nuttiness! With Dana Elcar, Selma Diamond, Neva Patterson, Jason Bernard, Peggy Feury (the famed acting teacher) and Madolyn Smith.
