10	Things Change (1988) more movies like this directed by David Mamet featuring J.T. Walsh, Don Ameche, Joe Mantegna, Robert Prosky, J.J. Johnston, Ricky Jay Perhaps it was his collaborator Shel Silverstein who said to screenwriter David Mamet "Lighten up. Do a comedy." Whatever the case, Things Change was a welcome change of pace for Mamet, both as scenarist and director.
