Did anyone else hate 'Save the Tiger'?

Yeah it's not my favourite either. I thought he deserved his Oscar very much and I'm always so happy for him when I watch the clip of him winning it. I could follow the plot just fine but you're right. Some of the scenes were very odd and the end was puzzling. I didn't hate the film, it's not my favourite but his performance alone still deserved the Oscar!

Magnificent film and performance. I should re-visit it soon.

Mr Lemmon's performance was nothing short of a tour-de-force I love the film,,slow yes but he was a revelation so deserving for this,,,he should of won for SOME LIKE IT HOT too,,Mr Lemmon was one of my fave actors my favorite film of his is GOOD NEIGHBOR SAM..he was just great in anything he did

Save the Tiger was a very, very good movie for its time but unfortunately it did not date well. The movie hit a nerve about the post WWII survivor's guilt while at the same time there was a cultural revolution in full swing. It was a heavy movie for its time but almost un-watchable nowadays.

still enjoy watching it to see Jack Lemmon's grand Academy Award performance,,he deserved Best Actor

I re-watched SAVE THE TIGER recently, and was again impressed with the film and Lemmon's riveting performance. I don't think it was supposed to be a hit [and it wasn't a hit], but a personal film from its director.

I agree Lemmon was a revelation and so glad he won the BEST ACTOR OSCAR,,Mr Gilford was great in it as well,,,it is a somber movie not like one of the twilight film,,based on a kids soap opera,,so the girls can go wild,,,it is a searing drama not something you go out for fun,,,,they call them art house movies not many are blockbusters but many do win Oscars
