Accompanied by his pet, an aged cat named Tonto, Harry sets out on an odyssey to Los Angeles.
Harry makes stops at the homes of his grown children (Philip Bruns, Ellen Burstyn, and Larry Hagman), but each visit is more disappointing than the last; he also touches base with an old flame (Geraldine Fitzgerald), who has slipped into senility.

"‘Harry and Tonto’ is the biggie for me," Carney beams, offering an iced tea, a dead giveaway that he is on the wagon.

 Harry and Tonto - VHS Tape
Harry & Tonto -- like John Steinbeck and Charley -- embarking on their final journey to discover America, and while these characters prefer to share their deepest insights with four-legged creatures, it's the humanity of Mazursky's characters that make this movie shimmer.
In the final moments of the film, Harry --aat the end of his journey -- sees a vision of the past on a California beach.
And of course Harry, whose acceptance of loss and refusal to indulge in sentimentality or self-pity show us it is possible to age with dignity and suppleness.

The actor, who also won a best actor Oscar in 1974 for his role in Harry and Tonto, was 85 years old.
Carney's sewer worker Norton, who oft donned a turned-up hat and vest over a white T-shirt, kept his buddy and downstairs neighbor Ralph Kramden, played by Jackie Gleason, on his toes.
Back in action in 1974, Paul Mazursky cast him Harry and Tonto as a 72-year-old widower who travels from New York to Chicago with his pet cat.

 Boston.com / A&E / TV / Art Carney; from sewers to stage, a gagman
LOS ANGELES -- Art Carney, who won an Oscar for "Harry and Tonto" and originated the role of fussy Felix Unger in "The Odd Couple" on Broadway, but who is best remembered as Jackie Gleason's sewer-worker pal Ed Norton on "The Honeymooners," died Sunday, family members said.
He won his Academy Award for best actor in the 1974 film playing Harry, a retired teacher and widower who sets off on a cross-country journey with Tonto, his cat, after his New York apartment building is torn down.
Carney felt he was too young to play the 72-year-old Harry -- despite his own balding head, his hearing aid for a hereditary hearing problem, and his limp.

 Actor Art Carney dies at 85 - The Daily Texan - Entertainment
The comic actor would be forever identified as Norton, Ralph Kramden's bowling buddy and not-too-bright neighbor on "The Honeymooners." The sitcom appeared in various forms from 1951 to 1956 and was revived briefly in 1971.
With his turned-up porkpie hat and unbuttoned vest over a white T-shirt, Carney's Ed Norton with his exuberant "Hey, Ralphie boy!" became an ideal foil for Gleason's blustery, bullying Kramden.
His career resumed, and in 1974 he was cast in Paul Mazurksy's "Harry and Tonto" as a 72-year-old widower who travels from New York to Chicago with his pet cat.

Elderly widower Harry Koons (Art Carney in an Oscar-winning tour-de-force performance) and his red tabby Tonto hit the road after their New York apartment is torn down to make way for a parking garage in this strange, bittersweet comedy from director/co-writer Paul Mazursky.
Harry also visits his adult children--a prickly thrice-divorced daughter and an aging, broke would-be playboy (Ellen Burstyn and Larry Hagman, in virtual cameos).
Harry and Tonto succeeds in making the 1970s seem like a considerably more innocent era.
