The great Jack Lemmon as a young man. I’m not sure the film that this is from but it makes me think of his last best role as Shelley Levine in “Glengarry Glen Ross.” “I need those leads!”

Nnnnnnnnnnot as young as I’ve seen Lemmon. By that time I’d say he was firmly established in Hollywood. He crossed over from live theater to live teleplays (I’ve seen kinescopes), which is when he REALLY looked young. I’d say this is Lemmon about the time of “The Apartment.”

I think the Apartment is right, but I’m not sure. Thanks for the comments Carl.

Yes, either THE APARTMENT or DAYS OF WINE AND ROSES.

The forced-perspective ceiling looks like “The Apartment” to me…
