Buddy, Buddy *** (1981, Walter Matthau, Jack Lemmon) – Classic Movie Review 1457
Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon’s fifth movie together and their last till Grumpy Old Men in 1993 is director Billy Wilder’s final film from 1981. Alas it wasn’t the hoped-for classic, and Wilder’s brilliant career […]
Grumpy Old Men *** (1993, Jack Lemmon, Walter Matthau, Ann-Margret, Burgess Meredith, Daryl Hannah, Kevin Pollak, Buck Henry) – Classic Movie Review 1454
Director Donald Petrie’s 1993 romantic comedy is neither sharp nor witty, yet it’s appealing and often funny. It was exceedingly popular and spawned a sequel, Grumpier Old Men, in 1995. In older age, Jack Lemmon […]
The Grass Harp **** (1995, Edward Furlong, Piper Laurie, Sissy Spacek, Walter Matthau) – Classic Movie Review 1452
Director Charles Matthau’s 1995 film is a civilised treat. The 18-year-old Edward Furlong stars as an orphan boy who, back in the 1930s, goes to live with his two dotty aunts (Piper Laurie, Sissy Spacek) […]

Director Sidney Lumet’s brilliant 1964 nuclear war thriller is sweatily tense throughout and often heart-stopping. Despite its ultra-gripping, important story, dedicated, vital performances, uber-tense mood and deadly message, it was sadly and unfairly wiped out […]
Hello, Dolly! ***** (1969, Barbra Streisand, Walter Matthau, Michael Crawford, Louis Armstrong, Danny Lockin, Tommy Tune, Fritz Feld) – Classic Movie Review 1233
Director Gene Kelly’s gloriously tuneful and delightful 1969 movie of Jerry Herman’s 1964 Broadway magical musical, based on Thornton Wilder’s classic play The Matchmaker, won three Oscars. The 27-year-old Barbra Streisand may be far too […]
The Odd Couple ***** (1968, Jack Lemmon, Walter Matthau, John Fiedler, Monica Evans, Carole Shelley, Herb Edelman, Iris Adrian) – Classic Movie Review 708
Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon light up the screen with laughter as the quintessential Odd Couple in 1968. Matthau plays the slobbish, grouchy sportswriter Oscar Madison and Lemmon is the houseproud, hypochondriac photographer Felix Ungar, […]
