Poll question: Best Felix Unger. Jack Lemmon or Tony Randall?
Lets see if we get the sympathy vote here.
Lemmon was great in the movie but Tony Randall really personified the character.

1. Hard to compare
The film version was a lot edgier than the one on tv. I like them both.

2. No question, Tony
Jack Lemmon played Felix as more of a sympathetic character, but Tony nailed it as the ultra-annoying Uber-anal-retentive.

5. I love this quote from Tony Randall
In September, during a speech to the National Funeral Directors Association, Randall joked about how he envisioned his own ceremony: President Bush (news - web sites) and Vice President Cheney would show up to pay their respects, but they'd be turned away because his family knows he didn't like them.

6. Just to be contrary, Art Carney.
I heard his Broadway portrayal was so intense, he had a nervous breakdown. No kidding.
