What happens

Hurry Up, or I'll Be 30 (also known as I Am Waiting No More) is a 1973 American comedy-drama film starring John Lefkowitz, Linda De Coff and Danny DeVito. The film was directed by Joseph Jacoby. This film is one of several critically acclaimed low-budget films of the 1970s. The picture had its official New York City theatrical release, presented by Joseph E. Levine, in November 1973 to high national critical acclaim, with noted film critic Vincent Canby of The New York Times calling it "A wryly affectionate portrait of a younger Marty." In December 2009, The New York Times re-printed Canby's 1973 review in a piece that selected three pictures from the 1970s. In 2009 the copyright owners of the picture, Jacoby Entertainment, Ltd., were alerted to the circulation of unauthorized and sub-standard DVDs in the marketplace, appearing under the name of I Am Waiting No More. The unlicensed copies featured a pilfered photograph of Danny DeVito taken from a different source at a much later time. The disseminators of the illegal DVDs were identified by the picture's copyright owner and were successfully sued in California civil court. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
