Unique collaborations between actors can sometimes yield bountiful results when things go right and the pairings seem natural. A fine example of this is the coupling of Mel Gibson and Danny Glover as the wisecracking LAPD cops of the “Lethal Weapon” franchise. A more classic example would be Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn, who teamed up in the 1938 films “Bringing Up Baby” and “Holiday.” Another fruitful pairing was the repeated collaboration between actors (and real-life friends) Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau. In a black comedy period piece, “The Front Page,” they teamed up with legendary director Billy Wilder.
