That was Gene Wilder and Peter Boyle from the film Young Frankenstein.

After we take a short break, Critic-at-Large John Powers reviews Islands, a noirish new film.

This is Fresh Air.

In the new film Islands, out this week, a washed-up tennis pro gives lessons at a fancy hotel in the Canary Islands.

But when he meets an elegant woman with an unlikable husband, things take a noirish turn.

Our critic-at-large, John Powers, says the plot may sound familiar, but Islands takes you places you don't expect.

John Powers reviewed the new film Islands.

On Monday's show, Ethan Hawke.

He's been nominated for an Oscar for his starring performance in the film Blue Moon about lyricist Lorenz Hart.

In the streaming series The Lowdown, he's a small-time investigative journalist constantly getting into trouble.

He'll talk about his movies and his life, from his years as a teenage film star to today.

Hope you can join us.
