from wikipedia
Save the Tiger is a 1973 film about moral conflict in contemporary America. It stars Jack Lemmon, Jack Gilford, Laurie Heineman, William Hansen, Thayer David, Lara Parker and Liv Lindeland. The film is adapted from the novel of the same title by Steve Shagan, (the first book by the author of The Formula and other thrillers, and generally regarded to be his most successful novel by literary standards).

Jack Lemmon plays Harry Stoner, an executive at a Los Angeles apparel company on the edge of ruin. Throughout the film, Stoner struggles with the complexity of modern life versus the simplicity of his youth. He longs for the days when pitchers wound up, jazz filled the air, and the flag was more than a pattern to put on a jock-strap. He wrestles with the guilt of surviving the war and yet losing touch with the ideals for which his friends died. To Harry Stoner, the world has given up on integrity, and threatens to destroy anyone who clings to it. He is caught between watching everything he has worked for evaporate, or becoming another grain of sand in the erosion of the values he once held so dear.

this is one of my favorite movies, its sooo underrated and i'm happy Lemmon was a surprise oscar honoree. Fantastic film, the way Lemmom portrays a man on the verge of a nervous breakdown, the way he does go through several, its powerful stuff

Jack Lemmon is so good in this performance that I forget I'm watching an actor play a part. He is completely believeable as a middle-aged businessman on the brink of despair.

Jack Lemmon was hot in this movie.

Great acting! Great writing and directing to, in a great movie. Underrated, but still very relevant and watchable today.

Do you think Liv Lindeland's presence had something to do with Jack Lemmon winning the Best Actor Oscar for this film? Good thing they chose and not the other Liv from Norway: Liv Ullman (it would of been a raw deal).
