Description

Friendships that last a lifetime are rare; life-long friendships between men are even rarer. Larry King and Herb Cohen are an exception to the rule – their friendship lasted over 75 years. In the late 1940s, Larry, Herbie and their crew – The Warriors – hung out, played ball, caused trouble and, most of all, had fun making memories on the streets of Brooklyn. Larry Zeiger surpassed his dream of becoming a “radio announcer,” and Herbie, who “wanted to be a lawyer,” became the best-selling author of “You Can Negotiate Anything.” The two remained close friends throughout their adult lives. They shared laughter, good times and bad, and celebrated the enduring bond they forged as the kids. Using an extensive archive of personal photos, supported by animation, Herb takes us on a trip down memory lane including visits to their childhood homes in Bensonhurst section of Brooklyn, the Jewish Community House, and their corner hangout. An ode to enduring male friendship, this film slyly celebrates growing up as the children of immigrants, achieving your dreams, getting older and what it means to lose a best friend.
