Though only 50 years old when he made the film, Matthau is more than convincing as the doddering Joe Kotcher...
There aren't many comic actors I admire more than Matthau, and he does his best to be an old man in Kotch, but the illusion simply isn't there.
...very slow and very gentle...
Walter Matthau gives a compelling, Oscar-nominated performance as a grumpy old man in this melodrama, the only film star Jack Lemmon directed.
Great turn by Walter Matthau in aged makeup, and nicely directed by friend Jack Lemmon.
By all means, catch Kotch. It's a fine movie.
Audience Reviews for Kotch
It's very interesting to see Lemmon direct for the first and only time and decide to go with Matthau rather than an aged actor. Matthau of course always looked old but here he sometimes hits the mark and other times doesn't. I wonder if the lukewarm result prompted Lemmon not to direct anything else.
