Trying To Find A Film

[Purple_Popple]

Broadcast around early 1980s or late 70s, an American TV movie about a group of old age pensioners (men) who steal a train. One of the characters in it was called Larry, but I can't find it or remember the title.
It had a funeral scene in it where they read the verse 'do not stand at my grave and weep'.

Is it The Taking of Pelham 123

[Purple_Popple]

thanks Horshoes, but it is a film going back a few years - late 70s or early 80s. It's not 'Tough guys' either.

Taking of Pelham 123 was 1974.

Original version

The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (1974 film)

I'm trying to think of actors who did TV movies at that time who would be pensioners, it's not Earl Holiman, Denis Fimple maybe? though he played comic characters, Richard Farnsworth?

The only film I can think of is Tough Guys starring Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas it was released in 1986, can’t remember if it had the funeral scene but they were defiantly OAP’s who tried to rob a train.

[Purple_Popple]

It was about a group of old age pensioners in a retirement home that are after some excitement and decide to steal a train and go on an adventure. Cant help with anymore info. I thought you meant the modern version of Pelham 123. But I dont think its that.

[Purple_Popple]

It is a light-headed family film, some of it is comical.

[DJHawkes]

was it red buttons maybe?
