Kotch

Sentimental generational comedy, with Matthau mugging through as an irascible senior citizen, resisting all attempts made by his family to uproot him, and generally sprinkling Grey Power with sparks of a second childhood. A bit of an easy option for Jack Lemmon's debut as a director, and a strange project to involve former blacklist victim John Paxton (Crossfire, Murder, My Sweet) as screenwriter.
