The Toy VHS (1982) – Richard Pryor & Jackie Gleason – Comedy

The Toy is a classic 1982 comedy starring Richard Pryor and Jackie Gleason. Pryor plays Jack Brown, an unemployed former reporter who takes a job as a department-store janitor. When the spoiled son of wealthy businessman U.S. Bates chooses Jack as his “toy,” he finds himself being paid to spend a week with the boy—with plenty of unexpected lessons along the way. Directed by Richard Donner, the film also stars Ned Beatty, Scott Schwartz, and Teresa Ganzel.

This is a great vintage comedy VHS featuring two legendary performers and a memorable piece of 1980s home-video history. Early home-video listings document The Toy on RCA/Columbia Pictures Home Video in the VHS/Beta era, while later VHS releases include a 1993 Columbia TriStar slipcase edition.
