SAVE THE TIGER

SAVE THE TIGER
by John G. Avildsen
Country: USA
Year: 1973
Duration: 100'


Harry Stoner is a good guy, but his apparently successful women’s wear company has serious financial problems and he is tormented by memories of the past. So, the good Mr Average American decides to do what everyone else is doing and rip off an insurance company. Full of nostalgia and regret, the painful and scathing portrait of a widespread crisis of ideals, in which the Dream shatters on the normal face of a phenomenal Jack Lemmon (who won an Oscar).
