The HBO original film, starring Jack Lemmon, Talia Shire, Jonathan Silverman and Madeline Kahn, was released on VHS with the title Father, Son and the Mistress.
[1] Aram Katourian (Jack Lemmon) is atop a bridge considering whether to jump to his death when a homeless woman (Madeline Kahn) -- fascinated by seeing a person die—interrupts him.
He finally does not have the courage to commit suicide, and instead tells the woman his story: Aram is a self-made millionaire who owns twelve successful stores and makes an average of 3.2 million dollars a year.
He married his greedy high school sweetheart Millie (Shire) and have an adult son, Michael (Silverman).
Aram, fearing that he will never inspire his son to come off the couch from watching television, suddenly has a great idea: He and Michael will join forces to make travel videos.
