One of the best films about father and son erelationship
The innonative edition and direction plus Jack Lemmon's talent and versatility make this film one of the best dramas that have ever being prodduced in Hollywood.

"We Only Have One Dad"
This film is a story about a father who finds out he is dying of cancer and that he doesn't have enough time to live. The challenge is to spend the rest of his life trying to make up with his only son who happens to hate his guts.
A good friend of mine used to say, "We are just passing through." and I guess this is what the movie is all about.
A father and a son relationship is precious...please make the most of it.

Man Was Not Meant To Be Alone
This is such a perfect portrait of people I have known who have built emotional moats around their castle of humanity....
Lemmon's character is commited to having no commitment...So busy loving the world he is unable to totally love those who to whom he is closest.
Watch this film with friends and I guarentee you will have one of the greatest discussions you have ever had about all of the implications...A totally human film
Great Song by Barry Manlow heard over the credits sums up the whole idea of the film...
