1958. Cowboy is no less an example of oddball casting that works, especially since Jack Lemmon proves to be a really nifty screen match with co-lead Glenn Ford, who’s as good as he ever was here.

1983. This entry in the director Eric Rohmer’s sublime “Comedies and Proverbs” series has the usual Rohmer virtues: appealing actors; delicious deceptions (which temporarily turn key protagonists into fools); a constant reshuffling of romantic entanglements; and heavy doses of character-driven dialogue that result in nothing like watching a filmed play.
Extras: Includes a 1996 interview with Rohmer.
