Twitchy to the point of epilepsy. He's great later in his career. His performance in Glengarry Glenn Ross is one of my favourite performances of all time - nobody swears like Jack - but in his early stuff i want to shake him and say "Jack, STOP FIDGETING! THE MATERIAL IS DOING THE WORK. TONE. IT. DOWN!!!!" i saw The Apartment for the first time three days ago and i have to say that whilst it was a lot darker than i expected it did reinforce an opinion ive held for a while: Jack Lemmon is an irritating screen presence in all of his early films.

Roman Holiday, Sabrina, My Fair Lady, How to Steal a Million - all without checking on IMDB. As for Shirley MacLaine, I can only come up with Irma la Douce... starring Jack Lemmon as Shirley MacLaine!
