@Jeff Maylor Nah. Just ask Medina and Calley. They got off with wholesale murder. Oh, wait. They were Americans. So, the slaughter of My Lai and Pinkville residents was just an aberration, I bet. I can tell right off you're a 'mistakes were made' kind of guy. So why can't you let Jane off? She never fired a frickin' shot. LOL That's a rhetorical questions, btw.
@Jeff Maylor 'What would any of that have to do with justifying the actions of Jane Fonda?' The fact that you'd ask that is likely all the evidence anyone needs to debunk your attitude on most things,
@Jeff Maylor LOL. And you are the moral equivalent of discussing properties of nuclear fission with Fred Flintstone. You wouldn't know a traitor if it bit you on your trump. I mean, rump! I was hoping for a battle of wits, but I see you came unarmed. Outta here. You may have the last disgraceful word of your reprehensible moral relativism, because we know blowhards like you can't get it up without getting it. LOL So, for your unfortunate partner's sake...
This movie came out 12 days before the Three Mile Island nuclear accident. Between The China Syndrome and this accident Shoreham Nuclear power plant on Long Island would never receive it license to operate. Over 40 years later it still sits idle.
Well I agree ....in 1978...now in 2024 I believe that they have issue many nuclear licenses,....in 2024 computers, safety regulation and mechanisms have improved
It amazes me how far that all three of these Academy Award winners have come in their film careers since the release of this movie which will be 40 years old this year.
Personally, I love Jane, she's an incredible actress. There are people of course who will never have it in their hearts to forgive her past. To me that is just immature, she's apologized her whole life and it's time for people to let it go.
Jack Lemmon's acting was outstanding, but so was Jane Fonda's. The emotion Jane conveyed at the end of the film where she's fighting back tears, after seeing a man shot, interviewing the plant management and Ted Spindler (Wilford Bremeley) was palpable.
Would have been much better if they hired Walter Matthau instead of Wilford Brimley. Can't you just imagine his one liners interspersed in the emergency?
I would have liked James MacArthur in there myself, if James wasn't doing Hawaii Five-O (of course, when this film came out, MacArthur was about to leave from there).
Meh, you gotta understand that at the time, women in the workplace was a relatively new phenomenon. People were struggling trying to figure it out. There were a lot of missteps and stupid questions along the way.
@@theferryman4916 I understand that, it was still a relatively new phenomenon in the 70s. Particularly the idea of a “career woman.” That was definitely a new thing for everyone.
3:40 Douglas sneers at himself: "heh, money-grubbing capitalist", eliciting an embarrassed laugh from Hanoi Jane. Then he weasels out of the question: "I don't know". Yoiks what hypocrites.
![What's My Line? - Jack Lemmon; Jerome Hines [panel] (Apr 10, 1960)](/img/1.gif)
One of the most memorable films I’ve ever watched.
Jack is outstanding
Jane was not only drop dead gorgeous but one of the best actors in Hollywood, and Jack is an all star player, as is Michael
Jane: "I'm not gonna answer."
Jack: "I don't know if she has to."
Bless that man, always a gentleman.
11:28 incase anyone wants the timestamp
@Jeff Maylor Pity? Obviously you did not watch the clip. Your dismissal of Fonda is I'm sure founded on the vaguest assumptions as well.

great interview...thanx

Or in Jane's case, how far she's fallen.
Really what would you have done a passed note that was seen being passed.die....or worst.?? Watch the old interviews course most likely scrubbed.
Twelve days later, after this film was released, the Three Mile Island nuclear accident occurred in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania.
Personally, I love Jane, she's an incredible actress. There are people of course who will never have it in their hearts to forgive her past. To me that is just immature, she's apologized her whole life and it's time for people to let it go.
Kimberly Wells will always be for me, one of the most memorable characters in cinema and I was only 2 when it came out.
Later on, Jane Fonda's exercise video, became the all time best selling videotape. 100% true.
I can soooo see Douglas as Gordon Gekko here!
Jack Lemmon's acting was outstanding, but so was Jane Fonda's. The emotion Jane conveyed at the end of the film where she's fighting back tears, after seeing a man shot, interviewing the plant management and Ted Spindler (Wilford Bremeley) was palpable.
Totally sexist question to Jane Fonda, business to Douglas, acting technique to Lemmon...the 70s. A long time ago.
Exactly.
What I wanna know is why that woman was in a T.V studio and not at home cleaning her husband's house?.
@@goatwarrior3570No one finds you the least bit funny, motherfucker.
because she was WORKING,making her OWN money and clean your own damn house !!! Seriously... pig@@goatwarrior3570
Ron Burgundy hosting???
