Jack Lemmon's Best Acting


This one is right up there, but others would make a case for his performances in:

1-Days of Wine and Roses
2-Mister Roberts (best supporting actor Oscar)
3-Save The Tiger (best actor Oscar)
4-Missing
5-Other??

What do you think?

Also Some Like It Hot, China Syndrome. But in Glengarry he is beyond awesome.

He's irritating and depressing as hell which means a great job. You never think of him as an actor playing a role you think of him as Levene.

FYI he made a million for this film.

This is typical Jack Lemmon. He was a great actor who was good in everything.

The Apartment was a great role.

I remember a scene with just him and Al Pacino, and after a few moments with Jack, Al's whole stance just visibly chills out as if to say, 'Im effing enjoying this '

reply

My favorite movie of his is The Apartment.
