Jack Lemmon and Jack Gilford star in this strange day-and-a-half in the life of a guy who is down on his luck. In SAVE THE TIGER, the head of a failing business considers arson as a way out of his financial troubles. As he wrestles with this decision, he also ponders the meaning of his shallow, materialistic life.
Director John G. Avildsen's SAVE THE TIGER is a complex character study of businessman Harry Stoner (Jack Lemmon), the CEO of a once-successful clothing company in 1970s Los Angeles. He and his business partner, Phil Greene (the great Jack Gilford), have seen better days--their company is failing, and on the eve of an important fashion show, they must make a decision about its future. Harry believes that the only way out of their financial crisis is arson and must face the possibility of that immoral decision while trying to convince Phil that it's truly the only way out. A sleazy wheeler and dealer, Harry's not above such things as pimping for his important clients, cheating on his taxes, and running his business by the seat of his pants. But above all, Harry's suffering from a midlife crisis and pining for the bygone days of his childhood, when--he believes--things were simpler and more clear-cut. Now residing in the lap of luxury, he struggles to maintain his lifestyle without losing his sense of self. As he wanders the city of Los Angeles in a daze, he meets a young hitchhiking hippie (Laurie Heineman) whom he spends the night with, but even this doesn't seem to recapture his youth. Struggling with his personal demons and the future of his business, Harry has to make a final, moral decision that will determine the way he spends the rest of his days. This intimate commentary on the evils of materialism features an Oscar-winning performance from Lemmon that is subtly and deeply moving. Filmed in sequence in Los Angeles, California.
SAVE THE TIGER was nominated for three Academy Awards and won for Best Actor (Jack Lemmon).

The title refers to the night when three men, Randy (Matt Dillon), his cousin Carl (Paul Reiser) and Detective Dehling (John Goodman), all meet Jewel Valentine (Liv Tyler) at a bar called McCool's. Actually, they don't so much meet her as fall under her spell when they first lay eyes on her. In her clinging red dress she looks like a cross between a beautiful damsel in distress and the Lady In Red looking for John Dillinger. The story begins with Randy, desperate to be rid of Jewel, hiring a sleazy hitman, played by Michael Douglas in an outré toupee. His story of how Jewel led him to ruin, filmed in a stylized flashback bathed in blue, is mirrored by Carl talking to his therapist--played with a delicious verve by Reba McEntire, and Detective Dehling talking with a priest; each telling their own stories of obsession with Jewel. Tyler is clearly beautiful, ...

Blake Edwards's return to the male-in-meltdown territory he explored in 10 and THAT'S LIFE stars John Ritter as unemployed writer Zach, who is not only suffering from writer's block, but his drinking is out of control, as is his obsessive womanizing, and, not surprisingly, his wife wants to end their marriage. To add to his problems, his house has just burned down, and his agent is knocking at death's door. But since this is a Blake Edwards comedy, Zach has enough charm and relative affluence to continue his pursuits, which the director regards with a bemused deatchment. One of his girlfriends sets his piano on fire, and another gets him to wear a glow-in-the-dark condom, allowing him to engage in a condom duel with her jealous, similarly clad rock-star boyfriend. Eventually, Zach turns to fatherly bartender Barney (Vince ...

A thriller riddled with paranoia and distrust, Klaus Menzel's FASCINATION is an acute study of a man stretched to breaking point by an egregious set of circumstances. Scott Doherty (Adam Garcia) is both stricken and confused when his mother, Maureen (Jacqueline Bisset), announces the tragic death of his father, who drowned during a curious boating mishap while the couple was on vacation. The incident seems highly irregular to Scott due to his father's considerable athletic prowess. But Scott's eyebrows are raised even further when his mother returns from the trip with a new beau on her arm in the shape of the dashing Oliver Vance (Stuart Wilson). As the newly entwined couple make astonishingly speedy wedding plans, Scott looks on in horror, although this is tempered somewhat by the eye-catching presence of Oliver's shapely daughter, Kelly (Alice Evans). Equally suspicious of the impending nuptials, Kelly joins Scott in an investigation into the foggy circumstances surrounding his father's demise. While acting on the supposition that Scott's deceased parent may have been murdered to allow his mother's new ...
