A film containing at least one of the best actors of the 50's and 60' Jack Lemmon. I feel he is the star of the film and carries to an extent some of the other performances. The film is well set in the 1929 period and faithful to the period detail. However I feel despite being a huge Jack Lemmon Fan that it has not faired well from the passage of time. With a lot of films of 40 to 50 years ago there is a tendency to view with rosy coloured glasses and not from having sat through it again and critically evaluated it. The humour is particularly dated and the plot with honesty thin. Okay it was a great film for its time, but films have improved in the 48 years since this was made.
