Save the Tiger Reviews
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Jack Lemmon won the 1973 Best Actor Oscar in John Avildsen's Arthur Miller-like sentimental melodrama, in which he plays a bitter down-on-his-luck L.A. businessman who feels cheated by the American Dream.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Save the Tiger is essentially a virtuoso piece of movie acting. Jack Lemmon holds the movie together by the sheer force of his performance as Harry; he makes this character so convincing that we're fascinated.
Film Snobbery
Phil Hall
A jolting drama, fueled by two stunning performances.
New York Daily News
Kathleen Carroll
Avildsen has a particular talent for recreating lifelike situations. Here, his camera works like a magnet, picking up each squalid detail.
Chicago Tribune
Gene Siskel
At times, many times, in "Save The Tiger" one wants to yell out to Harry Stoner, "Hey, man, either quit your job or stop complaining." And then one realizes that it's not Harry's fault.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Elston Brooks
The only thing that saves "Save the Tiger" is Lemmon's highly believable dramatic performance.
Detroit Free Press
Lawrence DeVine
Lemmon is acutely sensitive at earning pity in this exceptional acting achievement. His brain in a vise is yours, for a time.
Miami Herald
John Huddy
Only days after seeing the picture do we realize just how much "Save The Tiger" has to say.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Don Morrison
Just a few wry degrees in another direction would have made us scorn Harry and his sentimental self-serving values. But, Lemmon is a great sympathy-bidder and his worst punishment is to feel sad.
Newsday
Joseph Gelmis
It's a sad, powerful, depressing movie.
Los Angeles Times
Charles Champlin
Save the Tiger is a small and intensely personal work, carrying the concerns of Shagan (who fought for two years to get it financed), Lemmon (who did it for no salary) and Avildsen (whose sympathetic response to the material is evident in every frame).
Variety
Variety Staff
There is a lot of mature, untapped ability on display in Lemmon's performance.
New York Times
Vincent Canby
"Save The Tiger" never succeeds in disassociating itself from the self-pity it details.
San Francisco Examiner
Stanley Eichelbaum
Jack Lemmon gives the truest, most convincing performance of his career in "Save the Tiger," a vividly affecting film about middle-aged survival.
Scripps Howard News Service
Joe Baltake
To observe Jack Lemmon's foremost performance in "Save the Tiger" is to witness and share the actor's joy in having reached the pinnacle of his long, gratifying career.
Texas Monthly
Judith Crist
[Save the Tiger], despite its flaws, stands as a remarkable achievement for its writer, Steve Shagan; its director; and, perhaps above all, its star, Jack Lemmon.
The New York Review of Books
Robert Mazzocco
In the phony moral quagmire of Save the Tiger Jack Lemmon tugs at our heart strings while never letting go of his purse strings ...
New Yorker
Pauline Kael
[Save the Tiger] asks us to accept Harry's own justification for what he does -- that American materialism has turned him into what he is. And this is a moral hustle that must have enchanted the movie executives who financed this picture.
