...mature years. Out of his mouth came acerb insights fashioned by Billy Wilder (seven films), Blake Edwards (six) and Neil Simon (four). The list includes The Apartment, Operation Mad Ball, the Odd Couple--and the all-time funniest farce, Some Like It Hot, in which he and Tony Curtis dress as women and Lemmon falls into character a little too deeply. That was Jack all over: the man whose all-too-agreeable nature led him to wonder if he was man enough...
