During the '50s and early '60s, the image of the "ideal" life (where everyone lived pretty no matter what) reigned supreme. "Save the Tiger" is like a barrel of salt in that image's wound. Middle-aged Harry Stoner (Jack Lemmon) has a top job, but he's clearly not happy; quite the contrary, he always seems like his blood pressure is through the roof, and like his composure is hanging by a thread.
I saw this right before I graduated from high school, and...well, it was pretty disturbing to think that what "Save the Tiger" portrays is my prospect for the future. But, that's life. Harry Stoner apparently knows this all too well.
About his surname, was that a reference to something? Harry clearly was not getting stoned or anything, although he did hang out with a hippie girl.
