Film and TV close-ups reveal the smallest encroachments of age; the stage keeps a civilized distance between seemingly ageless performers and happily deceived audiences. In the Broadway revival of Frederick Lonsdale's 1923 Aren't We All?, part of the charm is a return to the heyday of drawing-room comedy and, for that matter, of drawing rooms.

Somehow, with a quip or a smile, he usually manages to fight...
...ageless contrivances of farce. Here, as in his scripts for La Cage aux Folles, L 'Emmerdeur (remade in the U.S. as Buddy Buddy) and Partners, Veber throws a tough guy and a soft guy into an improbable stew, mixes identities, spices with a gangster or two and stirs to a giddy boil...
