About this movie

Academy Award-winners Jack Lemmon ("Glengarry Glen Ross," "Grumpy Old Men") and Anne Bancroft ("The Graduate," "Agnes of God") are a sweetly melancholic 48-year-old man and his wife who must face the trivial and relentless vexations of New York life when the husband loses not just his job, but also his confidence. From the hilarious hit play by Neil Simon ("The Goodbye Girl"), and featuring Academy Award-winner F. Murray Abraham ("Amadeus") and superstar Sylvester Stallone.

Ratings and reviews

One of my favorite Jack Lemmon films, definitely falls into his character well. Anne Bancroft plays the perfect match for his almost pathetic character, she is a great base for the duo.

Jack Lemmon at his best.
