This is a beautiful, devastating film that is just as relevant today as it was 51 years ago.

Thanks!

I watched the first half of the film just now (first viewing) and I'll finish it tomorrow. Too tired right now. So far, excellent film. I think it's my first time seeing Jack Lemmon in a drama.

You're very welcome, and I'm glad you like it. If there was any doubt before, this film proved Jack Lemmon could do drama. "Save the Tiger," "Missing," "Glengarry Glen Ross" and "Shortcuts" are also very good.

I finished the film. Excellent movie, but I think that it's more fun to watch Jack Lemmon in comedies.

Yes, I still prefer Jack Lemmon in comedies, especially because he did them so well. This drama is particularly bleak, though very effective.

reply

Lemmon and Matthau - probably one of the best comedy duos ever. I saw them both in The Fortune Cookie recently, and I absolutely loved the scenes where they appear together.
