Jack Lemmon

Lemmon turns in showy, theatrical work that's appropriate to the not-terribly subtle film around him, but the whole enterprise is one that's best avoided...

Irresistible...the prime hams and real-life friends share comic timing that can only come from years of experience.

The play widely regarded as the best piece of dramatic literature ever written...[in] the only unexpurgated big-screen version.

The preeminent comedy of anima...effervescent and breezily paced, from the car-chase opening to the big finish capped with one of the all-time-great punchlines.

The airy Novak makes a strong impression, Stewart's comic chops remain in fine fettle, and the distinctive supporting cast can't be beat...
