...more plays written about him than Abraham Lincoln or Julius Caesar -- six by his count, from Come Blow Your Horn through Broadway Bound -- and older brothers are featured in at least two of Neil's other works. By far the most tender portrait appears in Brighton Beach Memoirs. Zeljko Ivanek, who played the role, recalls learning that Danny wept on seeing the play. Asked why, Danny replied with characteristic bravado and equally characteristic regret, "Because I didn't write...

Father Farley is an ideal Lemmon subject: the entertainer at mid-life crisis, with all attendant weary routines and stutter-step timing, and a love-hate relationship with his audience and himself. Lemmon's trademarked excesses are part of the character; they play off Ivanek's imploding edginess in a generational combat of acting styles.
