Jack Lemmon was a great actor he played in a lot of great movies mostly with Walter Matthau, but he did play in other movies without Matthau, My favorite one is My Fellow Americans that he plays in with James Garner, Dan Aykroyd, and John Heard. It was a funny movie and like I said my favorite of his that he does not play in with Walter Matthau, my favorite with them together are Grumpy Old Men and Grumpier Old Men.
