Pete 'n' Tillie

on BBC Two England

[starring] Walter Matthau
also starring Carol Burnett

'When you've reached my age and your friends are beginning to worry about you, blind dates are a way of life,' declares Tillie Schlaine before being introduced to Pete Seltzer at a party by her match-making friend, Gertrude.
In this witty and moving comedy-drama, Walter Matthau plays the wise-cracking advertising researcher, Pete. Carol Burnett, in her first major screen role, is his reluctant girlfriend and eventual wife, Tillie.
