Thank you so much for making this film! I'm the woman in the hot pink hat with the Yorkie (my wee late Yorkie, Lucy). Jim was an amazing, wonderful, goodhearted, fun man, and a little madcap (and my friend), and his spirit really comes out here.
I really enjoyed this. I've had dinner at Jim's maybe 4 times over the years. The first time was with my elderly mother who had her first dinner at Jim's with my dad maybe 40 years ago. She wanted to introduce me to the man, the experience, the joy of Paris with people and energy that she really loved. So it was a dinner at Jim's. I always feel I don't want to leave, because the friendliness is real, its home. Thank you Jim, I'd love to come to dinner again... when this damn virus is history! Until then... be well.
This brings a soft tear to my eye. I had the pleasure of attending one of Jim's dinners in the summer of 2018. He was obviously a lot older than he was in this documentary but he was still present, so welcoming and up for a chat. I met some of the most interesting people and had engaging conversations. My friend and I were then kindly taken by a young Parisian lady to explore the city. We sat underneath a large weeping willow tree along the Seine and admired the city of Paris. That was my first night in Paris and one that I hold so dear to my heart.
I used to live at the Arts Lab generally getting in the way (um... I mean helping out). Jim was always gentle. I also worked at International Times. I remember being interviewed by John Lennon for the post of Classified Ads manager for a magazine that he was thinking of bringing out when Jim walked in behind me. A lot happened in those days. I visited Jim and Jack in Paris a few times., not just for dinner. Always very welcoming.
My daughter stayed in his basement for three years from 2008 and helped out with the Sunday dinners in lieu of board. She organised the crowd for the After Eight commercial. She's the one with the bow in her hair. I stayed there a couple of times but alas never got to go to the dinners. RIP Jim.
Beautiful to see this. I have been to Jim's dinner at least half a dozen times since my first visit in the eighties. Always a pleasure. Nice to see my friend Maria D'Arcy as one of the participants. Looks like this was shot before he remodeled the place. It looks a lot different now. He did a beautiful job on the renovation.
What a wonderful man

very sad we miss such a great man with noble ideas. God bless his soul.

Rest In Peace dear Jim....!
Top man
Ah Jim, first invited to dinner by him in 1979!
Dinner at Jim's was the highlight of my first visit to Paris.
Barbara Sher sent me.
He was quite a guy.
Sad that i missed the bus...
