After All or Nothing, you can't help but look at the acting. Lemmon is again like poetry in motion ('haunting and cleaning, haunting and cleaning') whether serving a sandwich or cleaning a table; Matthau subtly running through a range of emotions. It's a dream team.
Saks sensibly films much of it in wide shots and long takes so we get the theatre experience, then he and editor Frank Bracht pick their close ups artfully.
