I must confess I have a bias for films of the seventies. Most of my all time favourite films were made in that decade and this is one of them.
Jack Lemmon is a New York middle executive who is retrenched. We watch as he slides into depression. Their is some fine humour in this film, which, incidentally was not well received critically, but it is really the underlying drama that makes this such a great film. It is an intensely personal film for me and, apart from some overacting, there is little I can criticise. It is an incisive and briskly paced comedy drama which I never tire of viewing.
By the way, watch out for cameos by pre-fame Sylvester Stallone and F. Murray Abraham.
