Brilliant gem of a movie I had never heard of!


This started playing on the "Movies" channel and within a short time I could tell it was an absolute classic, yet I had no idea what it was and was unfamiliar with the plot. It was also clearly one of Jack Lemmon's best ever performances. What a wonderful and unexpected treat!

Yeah, the movie is relatively unknown. If the Academy hadn't nominated this film, then this film would've been lost to most people.

The issue, I think, is that the movie is a little heavy; and the messages / themes are not easily recognized unless you concentrate and think
