quite simply and there be few other film with a many spot to laugh at a the out of towner . it really a straightforward plot and with a man ( jack lemmon ) and his wife ( sandy dennis ) go on a business trip to new york and run into one problem after another and lead them from their plane to a train to the city street . ordinarily and a film with this plot would consist of nothing special . however and it be jack lemmon superb comic delivery and mastery of come up with funny thing to say that make this a very special film . line after line and he deliver and and the joke get funnier a the movie go on . it his dialogue that make the film what it be . usually i dislike film with plot like this and but this one manage to stay funny without stress it audience out . some may prefer jack lemmon in film like some like it hot and mister robert and but in my opinion and this be his best role . never before have he accomplish comedy as great a this . a truly perfect film and from begin to end . i have not tire of it after see it many time . half out of .
