JACK LEMMON playing jazz piano - PRICELESS

Jack Lemmon playing jazz piano at Cafe Carlyle, New Years Eve 1990. Bobby Short invites Jack to play the piano and accompanies him toward the end of his too-short time at the piano. I believe this is New Years Eve 1990 - please correct me if I'm wrong. Jack's wife Felicia Farr is sitting next to him. Jack died in 2001 at 76 years old. Bobby Short died in 2005 at age 80. They are both greatly missed. I will also be posting a video of Lucie Arnaz singing that same evening (for those who might not know, she is Lucille Ball's daughter). And also a video of the whole show that evening. I am thrilled to be able to share this with everyone. I was surprised to see that no one had put it on You-Tube yet.

Avanti! è un film commedia in coproduzione (America / Italia) del 1972 prodotto e diretto da Billy Wilder . La versione doppiata in Italiano si intitola:Avanti - Cosa e successo tra mio Padre e tua Madre ? Il film è interpretato da Jack Lemmon ,Juliet Mills e Clive Revill, con la partecipazione di Pippo Franco e di alcuni " caratteristi " del tempo. Malgrado il Film era diretto da un maestro ed il cast era di ottima fattura, all'epoca non riscosse un grandissimo successo. La pellicola era abbondantemente "infarcita" da tanti luoghi comuni che si attribuivano agli Italiani e ai Napoletani in particolare, che risultavano traffichini, intrallazzatori, gaudenti e sfaticati perchè facevano il "pranzo lungo" e tante altre "facezie" ; mentre gli Americani risultavano come solevano apparire, ricchi, sicuri di se, attivi, pragmatici e spregiudicati.. Nonostante tutto, il Film, compreso la colonna sonora , è gradevole e,col senno di poi,certamente da rivalutare....Buona Visione !!

Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon are so good in this hilarious 1968 comedy directed by Gene Saks. Written by Neil Simon, based on his play of the same name. If you're only familiar with the TV show, you must see this movie. Matthau originated the role of Oscar Madison in the original run of the Broadway play; Art Carney was Felix Unger, but turned the movie role down. The film was a big hit.

Lemmon, Jack Filmography

Famous quotes by Jack Lemmon:

"Nobody deserves this much money - certainly not an actor."

"Some Like It Hot, Nobody's perfect."

"We're doing very serious stuff. But some of the stuff we pull with each other in between is not serious at all, and also not repeatable."

"We're doing very serious stuff, ... But some of the stuff we pull with each other in between is not serious at all, and also not repeatable."

"I was lying 10th and had a 350foot putt. I whispered over my shoulder: `How does this one break?' And my caddie said `Who cares?'"

"[For his part, Lemmon says he's proud to work with Scott, and hopes to do it again.] Any actor that ever works with George C. Scott is going to say, 'I'd be very happy working with Mr. Scott for the rest of my life,' ... And I feel that way, I really do."

"How do you know that God didn't speak to Charles Darwin?"

"I think whatever you do, if you are going to do it well or even if you don't do it well, you have to have a passion for it, and I am passionate about it. I love it. I respect it and it gets me. I get off on acting,"

"Stay humble. Always answer the phone -- no matter who else is in the car."

"It can be a simple sentence that makes one single point, and you build for that. You zero in on one moment that gets that character, you go for it, that's it, man, and if you fail the whole thing is down the drain, but if you make it you hit the moon."

"I won't quit until I get run over by a truck, a producer or a critic."

"If you really do want to be an actor who can satisfy himself and his audience, you need to be vulnerable. You must reach the emotional and intellectual level of ability where you can go out stark naked, emotionally, in front of an audience."

"Stay humble. Always answer your phone - no matter who else is in the car."

"It's hard enough to write a good drama, it's much harder to write a good comedy, and it's hardest of all to write a drama with comedy. Which is what life is."

"Failure seldom stops you. What stops you is the fear of failure."

"If you think it's hard to meet new people, try picking up the wrong golf ball."
