The Fikus family: they’re not roasted, they’re not salted, they’re just plain nuts! Alan Arkin directs and stars in Fire Sale, a hilarious comedy from Where’s Poppa? scribe Robert Klane. When the Fikus family patriarch (Vincent Gardenia) hatches a scheme to burn down his failing business in order to collect the insurance cash, over-the-top antics ensue when he’s sidelined by a heart attack and his two over-their-heads sons (Arkin and Rob Reiner) take over the store.
