- Quotes
Myra: Are you OK? Do you want something?
Harry Stoner: Yes. I want that girl in a Cole Porter song. I wanna see Lena Horne at the Cotton Club - hear Billie Holiday sing fine and mellow - walk in that kind of rain that never washes perfume away. I wanna be in love with something. Anything. Just the idea. A dog, a cat. Anything. Just something.

Featured review
Things are never as good as you remember them...
I saw this movie on cable when I was probably 18 or 20 years old, and from the first time watching it, I was enthralled. It really does engross you. I think the credit (and Im happy to say the Oscar) goes to Jack Lemmon, an actor who
really did have the everyman down to a science. The movie is an excellent
commentary on dreams coming apart, the loss of old friends, and realizing
youre time may have come and gone. Not exactly the most uplifting movie but it is raw and honest. Lemmon and his partner run Capri Casuals, a women's wear
line based in southern California in the early 70's. (incidentally the name comes from the island where most of Lemmons war time buddies were killed and
buried) When times get tough and Lemmon is lowering himself by becoming a
pimp to a big customer, he realizes his American dream might be over. In
consultation with his partner he decides to hire an arsonist to destroy his factory for the insurance. An intense, searing performance from Lemmon, makes Save
the Tiger a movie that should be watched for years to come.
Highly Recommended.
