I agree that Lemmon stole the movie; his role here was equal to his portrayal in "Save the Tiger", one of the grittiest (and most depressing) movies I've ever seen.

A personal note on "Glengarry": many of its scenes were filmed on Sheepshead Bay Road in Brooklyn and one night, as I was geting off the subway, coming home from work in Manhattan, I saw Al Pacino standing in the middle of the street. Even though the police had the area cordoned off and I was a good 40 yards away, it was still quite exciting. (My wife didn't believe me until the local neighborhood paper had a few pix the following week).

Anyway, it's one of the best dramas made in the past thirty years and an EXCELLENT character development story. I'd highly recommend it to anyone who likes good drama.
