Jack Lemmon gave an excellent Oscar winning performance in this film about a middle-aged man, Harry Stoner, facing a mid-life crisis. With his garment business going bad, Stoner (Lemmon) hires an arsonist to set the place on fire so that he can collect the insurance.
Jack Gilford, as his business partner, provided excellent support and received a supporting Oscar nomination. He lost to "The Paper Chase's" John Houseman.
This is a story of moral decay in the 1970s. Hookers with buying agents and Harry being seduced by a young hooker he picks up on the highway.
The film is depressing and sets us up for mood swings and somewhat of a conflicting ending.
