- The first interview was so good but time had run out when Walter came on towards the end. It was decided that the interview would be extended and this treat was kept for a later date. Ounce Walter starts talking he comes out with some really funny stories. It finishes with a nice piece of piano music that Jack plays that he composed himself. Two great stars sorely missed
- บันเทิง
Lovable, impeccable, embraceable - both of these two!
American Masters Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau
❤❤❤
'Yes!!! !!!!!!!!!!
Walter Mathau always blew my mind. 🧡🌱👍🤣
Back when TV had class.. ❤️
7:25 Did you get the joke?
I love listening to the older people tell stories about their life and the shows they did .
I'm 32 and still watch there movies
Came for a few minutes. Stayed to the end. Their captivation was so rare, yet so natural.
These two gentlemen were all class. Some of the best pictures for shear enjoyment are with these two. Utmost respect
Yes, Indeed!!!!!!!
Mr. Lemmon and Mr. Matthau...acting legends. They were so amazing together and on their own.
odd couple remake = kevin spacey as felix and crussell rowe as oscar
Legends in their own Minds (nothing more)
The master of the comedic pause, Mr. Matthau! Love these two gentlemen.
When Walter said he “landed with the 453rd bomber group” you could hear the respect and appreciation by the silence. Laughter just stopped and the emotion set in. Much respect!
James Stewart's bomb group. Old Buckenham.
A-MA-ZING!!! Jeez... Class acts through and through!
I might be only 32 but these 2 are some of the best actors ever. And always making you laugh when you need it. And I find it cool that Jack thought of Walter as an older brother he never had
You must be an old soul mate.
Hey mate. I'm in my 60s , and I've loved these two since I first saw "the Fortune Cookie"-- in the early seventies, when I was a teenager. You simply have good taste at an early age.....!
If you listened to this all the way through, you understand how much we need guys like this in the world.
WE GOT jOHNNIE dEP!
When decency, good manners and proper values were still alive.
It's up to us to revive it
Jack playing his Nevermore composition on the piano just stopped my dinner, in its tracks. Wonderful. 👍🧡🌱🎼❤️
These two are treasures. So glad we have this and other interviews with two of the most talented people in show biz. Matthau is in a class of his own. The deadpan attitude is a scream. And sweet, lovable Lemmon just obviously loves his friend and acting partner in so many of their great films. I really mourned the passing of Jack Lemmon. He truly was my favorite movie star as a kid.
These wonderful gentlemen acted in thier prime way before my time. But i can tell that these two were charming and class all over them that i would have loved
I'm close to sixty years now, but still I think these two guys are in the top ten division comedians EVER! Rest in Peace, both of you! The memories lives on - forever!
I'm close to 60 as well and couldn't agree with u more I watch the original Odd Couple with these 2 gentlemen in it and I crack up No nudity no swear Their timing and chemistry is awesome to behold Yes they're gone but we still have their movies God bless
@Harr Lee you may have been right thinking MR Lemmon was better left alone..but i would trade my literally hundreds of Celeb meetings for 5 minutes with either of these incredible actors...
.
Absolutely right there
Yes. I am so happy that my 16 year old daughter loves to watch the old movies with both Jack and Walter.
No questions about it !!!!!!!
These two actors are living for ever (in our memories). Their work is timeless! Just evergreens!
Great interviewer. Asks good questions and lets the guest tell great stories without interrupting.
Total class. I'm somewhat embarrassed by what we've become in comparison to gentlemen like these.
Mr. Blue Mongoose you nailed it I totally agree with you that you made that distinction it does seem that way thank you for your comment
My
Blue Mongoose
Be embarrassed not! We, "WE" have not deteriorated. We are blessed to recognise that we lived through or at least over-lapped THE BEST... The Golden
Age where talent, either natural or hard earned by hard work, was what the audiences wanted & the entertainment industry employed..often exploited to present to a very quality-aware audience. Crap never got past the stage door Commissionaire.
Unfortunately, lots of real quality got through but they were surplus..just couldn't be used.
Today, can you imagine letting in the likes of Ed Sheeran to anything other than
sweeping, checking fire extinguishers and filling toilet role dispensers?
You wouldn't look in his direction if you passed him on the stairs.
The embarrassment is theirs, not yours.
Different audiences, different world, wrong people running it!
facts
@@MauriatOttolink You forgot to mention the 30's 40's and 50's golden era of child abuse and rape in Hollywood. Google Judy Garland 👍
God, they were so good together....great actors
Walther Matthau is genuinely funny. A wonderful man.
These 2 guys are so tremendous they are now legendary. Cannot be improved upon. So hilarious! Jack & Walter are icons. Watch & notice how your mood lifts & you are laughing!
Jack loves listening to Walter. Just like the rest of us. Fantastic.
Back in the days when film legends were in fact legends.
Just pure class,like how these two gentlemen compliment each other.truly friends,funny and great actors of there craft.Rest In Peace fellas 🙏🏼🇺🇸
What class they show never see that anymore!!!
LOVE THE REAL FRIENDSHIP OF LEMMON AND MATHAU
I have never seen this before. I love these two gentlemen. I love the fact that they love each other, they're colleagues and collaborators. Aside from that they are both jokesters, they're silly and they like to laugh. These gentlemen were true treasures, RIP!
It's lovely that you came across them here, they were absolutely special. So witty & funny, best buddies too. Have you seen their hilarious movie Front Page ? It's in black & white. I saw it when i was a teenage lass and long to enjoy it again. Gonna look it up, buy it, whatever. Pure genius. 🧡💜🤣
and Jack Lemmon did some profound research before acting in the harrowing movie Wine & Roses. About alcoholism. Afterwards he got involved with, and donated to alcohol-related charities, hospitals, police forces. Wonderful soul. Total respect. 👍💜🌱🌿
I miss these days... Life and Hollywood were so different then. There was a level of decency that has left the planet many moons ago. I have no use for Hollywood at all. These gentlemen were everywhere back then and wonderful at their craft. Thanks for the memories.
I had the same reaction as Lemmon when I first played a Bösendorfer. A gorgeous sound.
Can’t stop laughing...
Neither could Jack Lemmon.
Walter Matthau I won’t forget you.
You are missed terribly. However .
.there is nothing in this world that you are missing out on....the golden years went with you.
Dear old Walter Matthau loved telling tall tales.
He once convinced people that his middle name was Foghorn.
Absolute class acts - never will be a pair like this again - unique, laid-back, honest, good friends and industry alumni. Lemmon and Matthau - it really doesn't get any better than this!
You won't see talent like this again. Never.
Two great actors -- great friends, and both so memorable, but I especially loved Walter Matthau's work, such a great actor.
Loved these two as a child...still give me quite a charge when i watch any of their movies. Miss their caliber of actor n class
You know it's great to learn something about someone you thought you knew. I had no idea he was such an accomplished pianist . That's what makes them so great .
The true art of conversation, wonderful.
When you watch them in this, having loved all the good work they've committed to film and history, to feel the respect and fun and the depth of their friendship, you come away understanding the 'meaning' of friendship. Parkinson did marvelous interviews but man, this one is gold.
This is absolute magic, how i loved these guys. Always will. Well done Parkinson too, a lovely easy respectful interview. One of his best. 👍☺️🌱💜🧡💜
I love them both! They have such love and respect for each other that it makes them greater and very heart warming. Two fantastic people!! God Bless them both!!
The odd couple, grumpy old men, they work so so well together, childhood memories for me watching them in grumpier old men
I can watch the odd couple over and over again. Remarkably actors both of them. Jack lemon is my favorite.
thank god from all these great legends
I was just going to watch for a minute…35 minutes later I had tears in my eyes. I wish they were both still here…
RIP to you both…
Same.
This was a lovely interview with Michael Parkinson interviewing Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon in my opinion this is the epitome of interviews the cream-of-the-crop artistic wise and humanistic insights with beautiful characteristics. You pick up a Sensibility that they aspire to a higher order of things and the dynamic within their friendship is something that anyone would want to have with another human being so glad that they found each other because I love them both individually and when I found out the actor together I was thrilled to to see the coupling
"The coupling"????
Whered ya read that?
Amen
You are quite right!
Artists! Drama, Comedy...these two possessed an unfathomable talent!
I enjoyed their work from the time I was a child. I miss their movies that were suitable for a child to watch, and still were mature enough and so well done, adults enjoyed them too.
A "like" button seems very insufficient in expressing how much I enjoyed this. Loved these guys, great interview, and amazing piano playing by Jack.
Such class! We don’t have men like this anymore!
"What is good and what makes money are not usually the same thing." - W.M.
So damn true.
Rest in peace, sir. Thank you for all your wonderful interviews. God bless x
I didn't know that Jack Lemmon was such a wonderful pianist and self-taught too! Just wonderful.
Two of the greatest personalities to ever grace this earth, intellectual, funny, interesting and real, my god there's no talent left
Not really looking very hard are we ..?!
Durins Bane Yeah, who you got, Jim Carey, sticks his fingers in his mouth, who's left, list them I'm curious
@Big Bill O'Reilly ASS-inin.
Love them both

I loved Matthau as Charley Varrick. Brilliant film
Micheal Ascroft As did I. Two thumbs up.
One great interviewer and two great genius Actor Comedians
Mike's interview with Matthau and George Burns is another classic interview Harpo..
@@jamesappleton7390 Thanks I will check it out.
Jack Lemmon-not only a Legendary actor but also a gifted musician .
Genuis.
Jack Lemmon was a professional-level jazz pianist, a title that for most musicians represents a lifetime of hard work.
@@johntechwriter yes. 👍💜🌱
Can't be replaced , they were in a class of their own!
Jack Lemmon is the most underrated actor in Hollywood. His movie “Save the Tiger” is a great film that a lot of people have not seen.
He can be so opposite in acting skills-so funny in The Great Race, & so dramatic in The Days of Wine & Roses
@@cynthianolder3557 I think the Great Race was one of his best roles he ever did. Should have won an Oscar. He was brilliant.
@@howardweinstein1324 Peter Falk & Jack Lemmon-so rediculously funny
How have we lost the amazing talent of yesteryear to the rubbish today .those men were true actors. Sad day when we lost the likes of these brilliant people.
Great guys, we need somebody like that in our lives.
Yes! I agree , classy good souls.
I love the grumpy old men were out when i was like 18 with jack lemmon walter matthau and ann margret
Sincere thanks for posting this classic interview,The late great Walter Matthau is hilarious 😂
Yes ! 👍💜
Jack Lemon was probably one the most versatile actors who ever lived. He could make you cry and laugh almost at the same time. Just watch Prisoner of Second Avenue and you'll see what I mean
He was great in Glengarry Glen Ross.
@@edlawn5481 and Save the Tiger, Missing, The China Syndrome, The Front Page ... A great actor.
Lemmon
@@waynej2608 He broke my heart in Missing; such a tragic story.
China Syndrome🤩
i could listen to Walter tell stories all day.. he is so funny.
What a marvellous example of a great friendship . The interviewer sits aside and gently guides the conversation . What a marvellous experience . I’ve never written the word “Marvellous”🥂
I love how honest they were in these interviews...not the ass-kissing bs we see today on talk shows.
Spot on.
You sure as hell wouldn't find anyone saying that their first sexual experience was with a prostitute. And without a trace of shame. Just a simple fact.
Could you imagine the snowflakes, advocates and press secretaries getting into a flap about someone saying that now days.
PC assholes on the rampage..killing honesty
assentzio
Just a single word of total approval of your excellent point... Modern Talk show talent "yuuurchhhhh. Pass the bucket!"
@@MauriatOttolink ya know if anyone could have said that it would have been Walter M. man i miss these guys i just love them so much and how he talked about Hollywood he could be talking about it today! i also love that they both clearly love each other and i would not be surprised at all that when Walter died part of Jack did to and well he went a year later.
man i wish they still were with us and hell even if they were Walter would be no joke turning 100 this year!
Walter Matthau was a brilliant man!
1000%🤝🖐👍👍👍👏👏💐
Gawd, this is fun! Their relationship is pure gold.
I love these guys. They will live forever.
Thank You for this,I got to meet jack at a golf course i worked at, right before he died, met his black poodle also! He was the same delightful man as always.
Yes lucjy you.
And I was lucky enough to meet Walter in Liverpool in 1999, in a hotel barr, when I went to my grandads funeral.
The barman kept saying how they get really famous people in there. I did not believe him until Walter walked in. Nice guy in the flesh, humble despite being one of the most famous actors of his generation. I spoke to to him for about half an hour. A week later he died back in US.
Serious????
Thank You for this,I got to meet jack at a golf course i worked at, right before he died, met his black poodle also! He was the same delightful man as always.
TELL US TH-camRS MORE, pleez
That is amazing! Cool.
The Beautiful and Gentle Soul that is ..Jack Lemmon.. Bravo Jack x
I love these two actors. It's a pleasure to watch such an old-school interview with them. Thank you for posting.
Thank you both Jack and Walter, two guys that add a realism to acting that you don't see anymore. They are so natural, like talking to an old friend. Jack is a very talented writer and composer. Walter would have made a good President of the United States, he has this manner of speaking like, Reagan. Some great films, Some like it Hot, The Out of Towners, King Creole, The Odd Couple, The Taking of Pelham One Two Three, The Apartment, The Wackiest Ship in the Army,Irma La Douce, The Days of Wine and Roses,Grumpy Old Men..... etc. I love you guys
And Matthau in Charly Verrick. Great film.
These stars should have been given more time to reminence. There were too many memories to recall. They were very funny. Walter is extremely funny. He had a fantastic memory. Rip to both. Thanks utube
A Class Apart .Take a bow guys , don't know when we'll see a pair like you again .
Great interview...not happen anymore....it was enjoyable to watch and listen...I miss this...
Awesome! The talent Lemmon/Matthau have displays like a super nova! Thanks much.
True legends. Now I have to go watch The original Odd Couple movie.
Yes watch the original Odd Couple I believe that was my favorite and couple with the best playwright Neil Simon brilliant script like most of his plays
I own that DVD the original is the best do--yourself a favor watch it ASAP LOL
That is one of my favorite films, of all time! ☝👍👏👏👏
Absolutely loved this quality interview Parkinson gave to Walter Matthau one of the best and Jack Lemmon the best. And I will always appreciate whenever Walter Matthau speaks of Elvis it's always in high regard that's says a lot of the man Walter Matthau and I did love King Creole that was one of the few movies at Elvis really showed acting ability he should have had more opportunity and more serious roles Elvis knew what he was doing if they had given half the chance but as I understand Hollywood looks at the the bottom line only not regard the artist potential ability
Oh, I love these two great men and actors ❤️🇭🇷
I never grow tired of watching these two together on screen
Me too. "Out to Sea" was another good movie they made together.
Wonderful interview, I'm so glad it popped up somehow, you know what is so fitting , is that these fine gentlemen are buried near each other at Hollywood forever cemetery. They don't make em like Lemmon and Mathau anymore . Thank you, this made my day, peace to all.
Fantastic show ❤loved it . These 2 guys are brilliant 🎉🎉great reminiscing with them thanks to ut ....
He was the most understated, fantastic comedic actor. I think the funniest was in The Odd Couple with Lemon, and he was also fantastic as the dentist in Cactus Flower with Ingrid Bergman in 1969. He didn't have to try, he just was so very great and intelligent without having to force anything. Hard to find anyone today like him.
Great never missed any of their tv shows ☺️😀😁
The Odd Couple is one of my all time favourite films, along with Some Like It Hot and The Life Of Brian and The Blues Brothers.
But any one of their films, either together or not i'd watch any day of the week!
Cactus Flower❣ love that movie
Movies these days, no one cares about the characters. The character development is not there. When films were great it was because you had an interest in the plot and too many explosions or loud noises were a distraction in some ways. If something subtle happened it was important. Now if a character falls off a skyscraper no one really cares much.
@@johnrobinson1762 That's absolutely right. You only need to look at remakes.
They have a blue print and still the characters lack that special something.
The best example I can think of (for now) is the movie "Sabrina". The original had Humphrey Bogart and William Holden - two massive stars and a fairly new comer Audrey Hepburn. And the movie focused on her, unlike the remake which was basically focusing on Harrison Ford.
Walter Matthau extremely dry funny humour
Thanks for uploading this. Great to watch these 2 legends talk.
I wasn't expecting much when Lemmon was asked to play something he wrote on the piano. I made a terrible mistake by thinking that. The piece he wrote and played was superb. It had so much depth to it and I'll say one thing about it: that piece is screaming for there to be vocals as part of it. And sung by an older female accomplished vocalist. I could almost hear her singing as he played.
Two wonderful icons greatly missed! I never knew Walter was so funny, a very attractive trait in a man - they were true friends to the end- RIP 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
"Films are made by morons for morons." Thank you, Walter, that still sums it up.
When Walter Matthau says that films are made by morons 4 morons it was so funny because I've often thought that but I do think that Walter Matthau if you listen to the interview and many of his other interviews he was only speaking of a few not all the filmmakers
Still nothing has changed. Only remakes and reboots. Terrible scripts and CG action scenes. How many times are they going to remake Superman or Batman?? Oh please!
"Films are made by morons for morons."
He described the Quentin Tarantino genre precisely.
I haven't seen all of his films but I know artist that sometimes some films can be dogs and other films can nail it
One quote I heard years ago: Some films are released, others escape.
Everyone: take a look at Walter in: 'A New Leaf'...simply brilliant.
Miyuki Shijisha A New Leaf - was one of my, absolute, most favorite films! Thank you for mentioning that one. Also, Lemmon’s Some Like It Hot and The Apartment were two of the greatest in film history (imho) and the two of them starring in Neil Simon’s The Odd Couple made it a perfect comedy.
Hiya
Matthau even brilled in a v early Twilight zone epi
as a corrupt Sheriff
BRILL
CHECK THAT OUT, girls and guys......
Hi
THAT was his absolutely best ever! Shalom to us only in Christ Yeshua.
Yes and don't forget the wonderful Elaine May. She was brilliant in that one, too!
I love the tune! Well written, intelligent, and beautiful!
"Films today are made by morons, for morons", and he said that 30 years ago. What would he had made of the abysmal state of movie making today ???
Great Clip, thanks !
Nowadays it's all about superheroes and animation. I miss going to the movies and watch a romcom. They dont make movies for women in their thirties anyone.
Walter has always been my favourite wise-cracking cranky Yankee. Jack is a lovely man, you can just tell, his music was very expressive. PML at so much of their stuff, identify I think is the right word. Two amazing personalities, both entirely real.
Такі характери нині великий дифіцит.
Fabulous actors!
I just watched the whole show that was fantastic I love those two guys.
Brilliant, both of them.
I grew up watching these guys in movies. Back when movies had real dialog, didn't cuss all the time and forced actors to really be able to act. These two were pros at it. And I had no idea jack could play like that, thanks for posting this.
I did not know Jack Lemmon was a pianist. Wow!
