Jack Lemmon

Days of Wine and Roses
Fashion manufacturer Harry Stoner (Oscar winner Jack Lemmon) is a man filled with regrets: for things he should've done (like play baseball or stay in a band) and for those he actually did (go to war). His marriage to Janet (Patricia Smith) is chilly-- during most of the picture she's out of town. The business is tottering toward bankruptcy, his health isn't great, employees fight with each other and a fashion show that could make or break him is imminent-- yet with all these pressing immediacies Harry's lost in and tortured by the past, especially by horrific memories of the WWII Italian Campaign.
“White Rose” was the name of the tiny resistance group that sprang up in Nazi Germany from June 1942 until February 1943. Sophie Scholl, her brother Hans, and a few others wrote and surreptitiously distributed six separate leaflets challenging the Third Reich and condemning Hitler’s war. They felt compelled to denounce the totalitarian system they lived under, even opposing their country’s armed forces–something almost suicidally hazardous as well as hugely unpopular.“It is a MORAL DUTY to put an end to this system,” proclaimed one leaflet. “We will not be silent. We are your bad conscience. The White Rose will give you no rest.”
The plot is almost unimportant, in that the construction merely allows for the exploration of various themes. Basically, a priest (Brendan Gleeson) is told in the confessional booth that he will die soon, and is given a week to get his affairs in order. What follows is essentially a series of conversations that touch on everything from faith, suicide, pedophilia in the Catholic Church, to human nature in general. Even though it examines some very high-minded and profound themes, it never felt pretentious, and always felt emotionally honest.
