I am wondering if ANYONE out there has seen The Entertainer? It seems to have literally vanished off the face of the earth... As for Alex & The Gypsy, it is definitely worth the effort to track down. The film is as odd and offbeat as anything Lemmon has ever done. It also contains what has to be the most submissive/docile performance of James Woods' career.

And like the above poster, Jack is my favorite actor as well.
