“Success is always somebody else's opinion of you, but it doesn't amount to a damn compared to your own opinion of yourself”.
Elegance, style, class, talent, and an engaging personality are the ingredients that have made a multi-faceted actor such as Jack Lemmon the symbol of a type of cinema that has survived through time without any detractions to its artistic value.

One of the parts that brought fame to Jack Lemmon was exactly this: a character whom he was capable of playing with sophisticated elegance, in which every move, every obsession with hygiene or idiosyncratic tidiness was expressed by means of an unparalleled physical comedy. Here we have distilled the very best of this entire world, depicting Lemmon with his characteristic expression of disdain for his blundering, disorderly friend who makes his life impossible. The guy who spilled a beer can, right after he had finished hoovering the carpet…
