- In this interview from 1984, Steve Martin talks about All of Me, The Jerk, Rob Reiner, Carl Reiner, a vacation in London, Lily Tomlin, meeting Elvis Presley, Pennies From Heaven and dancing in films. He also talks about performing for a live audience, a skill he perfected at Saturday Night Live SNL. All of Me, a 1980s film, was a gender bending comedy.
From 1974 to 2000, Canada’s Brian Linehan conducted thousands of in-depth interviews with the greatest actors and directors from over 60 years of film history. His programs City Lights and Linehan have not been seen since they first aired and are now available for the first time for licensing. Linehan, a stylishly gifted broadcaster, meticulously did all his own research and that, coupled with his knowledge and passion about film and filmmaking, puts him in a class all by himself.

All of the income of his Foundation is donated to not-for-profit institutions for that purpose. In the decade since his death, recipients of the Foundation’s support have included extraordinary young actors affiliated with the Canadian Film Centre, The National Screen Institute of Canada, the Stratford Shakespearean Festival and the Toronto International Film Festival, which, since Brian's passing, has preserved and housed Brian's personal archive and tape library.
It is so wonderful to see such a well-informed interviewer. Brian Linhane was one of the best!!!
He is missed. Truly one of a kind!!
You can tell the interviewer has a passion for this stuff and researches well
The art of interview🎬
I've been a fan of Steve Martin's for over 40 years. I've seen multiple interviews and appearances on talk shows, and this is the only one I've seen in which he seemed closest to himself. Well who the heck knows what he is like really, but he is not on, he is not playing a character.
What a double-edged sword it must be to be a comedian. Yoda says going down the dark path will forever dominate your destiny, but what about making people laugh? If you somehow are talented enough to make a living being a comedian, I'm sure in many ways it must be terrific. At least one of the ways it must suck is if you start to become known as a comedian, then people must always expect you to make them laugh.
It was cool to see Steve Martin for once not feeling the need to respond to the pressure of comedic expectations
I ❤ Steve Martin. I remember when he was on SNL, I didn't like the movies Pennies from heaven. Or Novacane. But I ❤ all of me. House sitter, the jerk. The lonely guy, to name a few. I really like the novella shop girl & the movie it was based on. He can play dramatic roles just as well as can comedic roles. He's man of many hats, & he wears them all very well.
12:34 - Steve Martin is actually taller than Elvis. It's funny how memory works, especially when you're in awe of someone.
The great Steve Martin!
Steve Martin is the best
Steve was brilliant in "The man with two Brains" very funny movie
Very under rated movie
Larry hubbard In the lonely guy was much more down to earth. The movie was out there & kinda wacky. But that was its appeal. Back then Hollywood had an imagination. I don't what happened. The character was someone I think alot of people could relate too. Even women. .there are top 5 Steve martin movies I like . And the loney guy is in that list.
💙
No offense to Steve martin its hard to think of a lawyer as normal guy. Yeah maybe if the "normal" guy made lying a career & embellishing to get criminals off. Don't get me wrong all of me was probably one his best films. But when I think of a normal a lawyer is last person that comes to mind. With all do respect to Mr martin.
Not awkward at all.
It's so sad that Pennies from Heaven was only a flop because people were expecting a Steve Martin comedy.
