“No sir, that’s very unfair..ESPECIALLY your wife!” was SUCH perfect subtle delivery by Lemmon. Shows you the integrity of his character in just one simple line.
Well said. Fred was very believable as the cheating husband. Perfect casting in this film all around. Fred was a great actor. Who would have thought Steve Douglas from My Three Sons could be Sheldrake.
Oh gosh when I was a kid the family would go to the movies we saw quite a few movies with Jack Lemmon. I remember seeing this movie although it's been so long ago I would like to see it again. He was one of my all time favorite actors.
Don't forget Ray Walston and the buddy boys...They are hilarious and provide great background to the slimy corporate culture at the firm with MacMurray's fascinating mix of calculating heel and dumbass, Shelldrake. What a terrific film...And how neat that "Mad Men" paid a tribute to its style by mentioning it throughout an episode.
