Save the Tiger

Buy This Item Save the Tiger by Paramount  Available from Amazon  $9.49  on 11-27-2008     Jack Lemmon won an Oscar. for this dramatic performance, considered by many to be his finest. Lemmon plays Harry Stoner, a man caught in violent collision with his past and present life. He believes there is nothing significant in his life except survival, and that instinct pushes him beyond moral conduct. He'll juggle the books, supply women for clients and even set fire to his own dress manufacturing factory. He is drawn to an America when life not only had values and heroes, it all seemed worth living and building. But Harry is frightened to break away from the emptiness of his seemingly successful life. Reader Reviews I like the way the movie contrasts the current 70's culture with Lemmon's WWII generational character. There are these pauses in his seemingly Fast-Fowared day (like waiting for an elevator) where he just stares out the window in a trance-like state, before he has to dive into the rest of the day. He has a car phone too, which is quite a luxury at that time, quite different today. I like his quote that it cost him $200.00 a day just to get up in the morning, illustrating the burden he is saddled with to keep the company (and his life) solvent. An oscar performace by Lemmon at the height of his career.
