A must for any fan of either actor,

There is sometimes a chemistry between two people where it just clicks and there is gold. "Jack & Walter: The Films of Lemmon & Matthau" chronicles the career of the two legendary actors when they were placed together, though each was a legend in his own right. Author Ben Costello looks at the pair's joint films ranging from their earliest work together in 'The Fortune Cookie', to their most well-known film 'The Odd Couple', to their much more recent films 'Grumpy Old Men' and 'JFK'. Chapters also cover both men's solo careers. Each movie gets its own chapter, complete with production stills and personal photos in black and white. "Jack & Walter" is a must for any fan of either actor.

Just finished reading this great book, and again I am so glad that Ben has shared these one of a kind men with us. I was informed, entertained, touched and found myself laughing as I read. I was allowed to know Jack and Walter, not only as two of the best actors, but as the fine men they were and to understand their close friendship. This is a book I will go back too again and again.

Keep Up The Good Work!!
