In this tender and touchingly humorous movie based on the acclaimed Broadway play, Scottie is a failed writer and a second-rate press agent. Terminally ill, he tries to reconcile with his estranged son before it's too late.
One of the best films about father and son erelationship
The innonative edition and direction plus Jack Lemmon's talent and versatility make this film one of the best dramas that have ever being prodduced in Hollywood.
A mostly moving film about fathers & sons
.. which unfortunately suffers slightly from Robby Benson's usual balsa performance(wooden & VERY lightweight) but Jack Lemmon is at his best since SAVE THE TIGER and DAYS OF WINE AND ROSES. Robby Benson is at least as good as he was in ODE TO BILLIE JOE. Tucked away in the cast is Gale Garnett, who had a vocal hit in '65 with "We'll Sing in the Sunshine", as Lemmon's stripper pal. See it.

Go on, before it 's too late!
When we are close to death we tend to rethink our attitudes respect of our beloved affective and social circle. And seen under this sad perspective, there are not so much who deserve this effort: that 's the case we have, when a dying father who suffers of cancer wants to reconcile with his son. Lemon as always gave an unforgettable and touching role.
Man Was Not Meant To Be Alone
This is such a perfect portrait of people I have known who have built emotional moats around their castle of humanity....
Lemmon's character is commited to having no commitment...So busy loving the world he is unable to totally love those who to whom he is closest.
Watch this film with friends and I guarentee you will have one of the greatest discussions you have ever had about all of the implications...A totally human film
Great Song by Barry Manlow heard over the credits sums up the whole idea of the film...
