- Here I would like to share an interview that I recorded way back in 1987. That much loved Actor Jack Lemmon. He came to England in 1987 to be interviewed by the best interviewer Britain has ever produced Michael Parkinson. He talks about his wonderful career and has some great laughs along the way. Its the best interview I have ever seen on Jack. Later on there is a special guest, Jacks great friend and another great Actor Walter Matthau. A great show. Hope you enjoy.

I love Jack, I miss him
What a brilliant, intelligent man 👍 Parky too RIP
Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau are two of the greatest screen actors ever. Both of them have the ability to play either very dramatic or very comedic. They are truly amazing together as well as apart.
These 2 love each other...It makes me cry.. xx
Jack Lemmon...Pure Class.
THE PRICELESS HUMOR WE DESPERATELY NEED TODAY
We miss this kind of men. Wise. Smart. Gentle and with experience in life.
Absolutely. Two of my faves.
He seemed like a lovely man
This is the best of chat shows. We need these
It will sound funny, but I don’t want to believe that dear Jack Lemon is not around anymore. I’m sending my love and blessings to him and his family. Prayers from Istanbul ♥️
I do the same, I just pretend their still here.
Greetings from America 🇺🇸
Jack and Walter are in Heaven above , laughing and joking with Our Lord and Savior JESUS CHRIST - and we'll get to meet them some sunny day 🙏 ✝️🙏
They sure don't make them like this anymore. All round entertainers with amusing stories you could listen to endlessly. Bless them.
I've always thought Jack Lemmon was such an articulate, classy gentleman on top of being a special kind of actor. Loved his style.
My favorite actor.
Jack was such a great guy. One of my favorites. He and Walter were one of the best duos in film history. Jack was actually a good piano player too. He loved jazz and played quite well. Wouldn't you love to have had the opportunity to just sit with him, have a beer, and chat? Smart, pleasant, calm, warm.
Walter is a riot. What a goof.
And I add Jack appears to be genuine.
Lemmon and Matthau were the PB&J of Holllywood cinema.
Adore Jack Lemmon!
Simply Brilliant.
Thank you Mr.Lemmon.
I was Jacks Bartender at Chadneys Restaurant in Burbank CA. It was an Honor to know him.
Wonderful. Two giants having fun. Good host.
I miss both of these treasures
One of the hardest movies I ever watched was Days of Wine and Roses with Jack Lemmon in it a great movie!
Brilliant watched p2 first .....wow great show nice to hear from these legends ❤❤❤rip 🙏
Historic actor in every sense of the word!!!!!! What a FANTASTIC career and upload!! 👍👍👍
I could listen to Jack and Walter all day. Lol
,
Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon make me feel normal ❤️
One of the best flowing interviews ever.
He was one of my favorite actors he could gandle both dramatic and comedy roles with ease. Miss him
Two of the greatest.
'Push the button Max!' 🙂
man, I miss good old Hollywood so much...R.I.P. Jack and Walter
My Favourite Actor of all time. He was Unbelievable.
Legend.
Jack Lemmon was a perfect gentleman when describing the antics of Marylin Monroe. I agree with him because she had personal issues. The best role Jack had was the nuclear engineer in The China Syndrome. The dramatic role he played was flawless.
I loved him in glengarry glen ross and jfk
What a gentle man ♥️ can't find one like him ❣
Great story teller . I could listen to him for a long time
These two AWESOME actors will be FOREVER Missed!
I've always liked Parkinson. Jack Lemmon (and Walter Mathau)...so remarkable!
This was great. There's a John and Paul dynamic between the two.
Mr lemon is a one off a brilliant talent adaptable comedy drama ,no problem actor I'm glad he he shared the planet during my time
I love Matthau & Lemmon. “Grumpy Old Men” was my “On Golden Pond”.
It is Lemmon and Matthau. Lemmon was always the lead (as in Grumpy Old Men). Matthau was incredibly funny but Lemmon was one of the greatest actors of all time. He wasn’t tight cast in any way.
That was one of the funniest movies, and yet it was touching at times, too.
I still love that movie, watched it again recently.
We have A LOT to learn from both these men!
I just love Jack Lemmon's enthusiast and passion about his work. U can tell, he really loves his job as an actor. I'm gonna have a Jack Lemmon movie marathon for sure.
Michael Parkinson is an Excellent interviewer! He makes today's talk show hosts look like amateurs. Lemmon and Mathau are one of the greatest comedy duos in film,ever.
The mistake that interviewers make is to butt-in. Leno was the worst. The job is to ask a question AND GET LOST.
I feel like Parky interviewed, today chat shows are mearly to facilitate celebs promoting their new projects
Brilliant Jack lemmon
One of best actors along with Gene Hackman.
Two of the best actors from my dad's generation! RIP Jack and Walter.
@Chugwagon5, and now in 0ctober 2023 add Michael Parkinson
2 of the greatest comedy actors of all time. Jack Lemmon always comes across so well in interviews.
Was there ever anyone better than Jack Lemmon with comedy or drama? And in a crazy Hollywood, he remained upright and scandal free. That in itself is absolutely amazing!!!
That is rather amazing….

I'm having another Jack Lemmon marathon
JACK'S GREAT!!!!!
Days of wine and roses 😍
Walter matthau the greatest
These two gentlemen were fantastic always
Definitely one of the very best..That piece in the lift when he cracks up, I defy anyone not to be moved by that...
To all fans commenting here, like myself......can u imagine sitting down to a meal in a restaurant with Jack and Walter......oh the laughs !!
He was so kind and understanding with Marilyn. I so wish she'd lived to do Irma La Deuce with Jack like Wilder wanted.
He always came off as a real nice guy.
ALL interviewers should take heed of what made Michael Parkinson so exceptional at his profession:
1) he was well prepared
2) he asked excellent questions in a clear, concise manner
3) he then shut up and allowed his guests to answer them, WITHOUT interrupting constantly (UNlike Charlie Rose, David Letterman, Jay Leno and their successors, who seemed to never find a microphone they could resist).
AMEN!
He knew to be respectful and there wasn’t the forced annoying laughter like on Jimmy Fallons show
I think it is only once in a lifetime one will get to meet such word shaking hilarious actors with such titanic tallents.
Jack Lemmon, one of Hollywood's biggest actors
Parky one of the greatest
Always a treat to see both of these great men get together when they tell their stories either collectively or individually. Both have achieved success in their careers and there will never be any other quite like these two.
Two funny legends. Movies today can never match up to the movies from long ago. RIP heaven is still laughing.💖💖💖
Matthau is hilarious!!
He is truly fantastic!
Intelligent, well-spoken guy.
Jack (and his dear friend Walter) is one of those great actors whom, every time we see them, seem as though they are still with us. Brilliant talent and ability and, frankly, who doesn't have the warmest affection for them? The main sadness which comes to mind is that Jack and Walter are NOT with us on this earth...but thank goodness their legacies are!
I don't care what generation you are
...at one point or another we were lucky enough to experience the magic they created. It was timeless...humor and love always are.
"Daphne" :) Jack Lemmon. A Gentleman and a Gentle Man.
Agreed
Thank you Justin.
What a wonderful interview. Thanks Justin🙂
a pleasure vivienne. To think this wonderful interview would be still forgotten in the archive and just gathering dust.
Matthau was stationed at the same base in England as James Stewart. Would love to see him in uniform standing at attention; better yet, marching.
What base was that?
I like the host, he actually lets his guest speak as long as he needs. Not like that irritating Merv Griffin.
Amen
wonderful interview,great host.Our Boston Jack!Legend,kind,handsome!
All true but make it Newton, MA
Thank you!
One of Hollywood’s best !
Jack Lemmon's story about putting his fist through the door and getting stuck is hilarious, due to how he tells it. He was a theater and cinema treasure! Same with Walter Matthau--HIS story about appearing on stage with Rex Harrison is equally funny.
Legends !!!
wonderful stars
A very enlightening interview.
Thank you so much for posting this, what a treat!
Jack smoking in the set. that's something that would never happen today. Both phenomenal people. Hollywood hasn't and will not replace them. practically impossible. Different era today.
pissed as a parrot.
BRILLIANT! Thanks for uploading! Great to see this 33 years later
Jack looks good in this , alot of actors have gray hair at 62
What an amazing interview with two great actors. And their sense of humor. Thank you for uploading this.
Walter Matthau was a god.
Thanks so much for recording and uploading this brilliant piece of hollywood history...and with our owld mucker Parky...I remember this at the time and so glad to be able to watch it agian...and again.....
Such an interesting man
Thank you for this delightful post!
Wonderful talent. Both actors gave us some great laughs and strong remarkable memorable characters. Jack Lemmon and Judy Holiday did a film (forgive me if I mis-spell it) Pfftt! and one scene is a dance....what spirit they put into that scene!
This was fabulous!
These guys were irreplaceable. No one has even come close, especially, Walter Matthau, "The Ukrainian Cary Grant"!
Save the Tiger and Days of Wine and Roses; perhaps two of the best movies ever. After watching Days of Wine and Roses I gave up drinking for a couple of months. I wasn't an alcoholic but the movie scared me so much I poured my three bottles of booze down the sink.
A very powerful film. All the more so when you consider when it was made.
@@jec1ny Yes, and I'm pretty sure everyone has seen the bad effects of alcohol consumption (I had a glass of wine last night🙂) but I have no inclination to get drunk. In regard to alcohol, I watched a documentary about 35 years ago. It dealt with the crime and frustrations of people in a big eastern U.S. city. At the end of the program the police chief stated, in his opinion alcohol was something like the pressure release valve on a pressure cooker. He thought that, while too much alcohol caused real problems it also tended to keep major insurrections at bay so that his city didn't explode like a pressure cooker without a release valve.
At 19:27 when he starts to laugh you here a touch of the Prince Hoepnick laugh from The Great Race. Awesome interview. Grew up watching so many of his movies. His talent was so rare and there is no one else like him.

Very versatile actor when u consider everything from "Some like it hot" to my own personal favourite "Glengarry Glenross".
loved him
Jack lemmon, a true movie star!
Of course, there are no actors, like these, nowadays
Three legends, two from Hollywood, one from Barnsley. The best actors and the best ever UK chat show host. They don't make shows like this any more, as they don't make anyone like Lemmon, Matthau and Parkinson any more.
Lemmon and Curtis were very pretty. Seriously (they were), Lemmon was gigantic on stage and on film, but leaves a gigantic hole still in his profession and our individual cinematic experience. He sadly cannot be replaced. An innovator, and a leader, and a universally respected and generous colleague is gone. And a very entertaining actor for us is still missing.
Thanks. much appreciated.
Two of the best movie stars ever!!!
my favorite Walter Matthau movie is still Charley Varrick, but he was awesome in Pelham 123 also. Lemmon had too many great roles to zero in on but The Apartment for me was incredible.
Days of Wine and Roses
I wish Doris Day and Jack would've made more movies together. They were such a natural believable couple on It Happened to Jane. Jack has said he adored Doris and that she was a very talented natural comedic actress.
Great people. 💛
Two of the very best.
Legends! A Much Lesser World world without Lemon and Mathau
