No getting around it, Jack Lemmon was a fabulous actor and in this film, there is no exception to that statement.
His trip to N.Y. along with his wife, played by the late Sandy Dennis, turns into a comedy of errors. Yes, life in the big apple was rough at the time this film was made in 1970, but everything happening all at once. It's a big exaggerated, don't you think?
The weak link in this film was Miss Dennis. Far better in "Up the Down Staircase," and other films, she comes across at first as a wife who repeats exactly what her husband tells her to say. As their situation becomes more dire, she attains a degree of independence but her voice is upsetting. We reach the point where we can't wait for their nightmare to end in this city.
At least the ending showed that you can't blame everything on N.Y. I wonder how Woody Allen would have handled this type of comedy.
