Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT As acclaimed in comedy as he was in drama, Jack Lemmon was truly one of the greatest actors of the 20th century who imbued every role he played with a powerful sense of humanity. As a two-time Academy Award winner, and the first actor to win both Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor, Lemmon made Hollywood history over the course his more than 50-year career.
Lemmon expertly played a loving father who was in over his head trying to get answers as the stark realities of his son’s disappearance slowly crept to the surface. With a strong supporting cast that included Sissy Spacek, as Ed’s strong-willed daughter-in-law, Missing was a tense and effective drama that too aim directly at the American government and their deposition of democratically elected political figures.
Grumpy Old Men proved that Lemmon and Matthau had not lost any of their innate comedic chemistry as they expertly played off one another with hilarious consequences. With Lemmon in his late 60s, Grumpy Old Men was an age-appropriate role that leaned into the acclaimed legacy of its two stars and featured a strong supporting performance from Ann-Margaret. A less acclaimed sequel called Grumpier Old Men was released two years later, although this proved the joke really only worked once.
Lemmon gave a powerful and hilarious performance as Felix that simultaneously conveyed all his particular eccentricities while also hinting at the deep sadness hidden underneath his character. The Odd Couple could have been a complete farce but it maintained a sense of vulnerability that was sprinkled throughout its quick-witted dialogue and sharp comebacks. As one of the best comedies of the 1960s, the same can definitely not be said about its lackluster sequel The Odd Couple II from 1998.
Director James Foley Release Date October 2, 1992 Cast Al Pacino , Jack Lemmon , Alec Baldwin , Ed Harris , Alan Arkin , Kevin Spacey , Jonathan Pryce Runtime 100 Minutes The crowning achievement of the latter part of Jack Lemmon’s career came with his extraoridinary performance as Sheldon Levene in Glengarry Glen Ross.
