'Save the Tiger' deals with one mans struggle to keep his business afloat in the cut and thrust world of ladies casuals in the early seventies. (don't laugh) I only saw this movie from half way through but as soon as I set eyes on it I could tell it was something special. It's the kind of film that has an underlying tension and pace where you think that any second something really dramatic is going to happen but never actually does. In fact, just as something substantial was about to happen the film abruptly ended. But I cannot put this into perspective as I did not see the whole film. Of course the it was worth watching just for Lemmon's performance alone, who was as superb as always. A rare, gritty, quality, American drama.
