SHUT UP AND DEAL!
JACK
LEMMON ON SCREEN
Its
the centenary of one of the best loved Hollywood stars and this talk will
celebrate his work.
100
years after the birth of Hollywoods ultimate everyman, Jack Lemmon remains an
irresistibly charismatic screen presence, with two Academy awards and a body of
work including cinematic masterpieces and hefty television drama. Although best
known for comedy classics like Some Like it Hot, he conveyed pathos and
tragedy in even the most light-hearted of scenes. From early career turns in
Mister Roberts to the dark satire of The Apartment, and the desperate death
of the American Dream in The China Syndrome and Glengarry Glen Ross, he was
always a dynamic force, elevating even the smallest of roles. To accompany the
festivals Jack Lemmon strand, join film writer and lifelong Lemmon fan, Hannah
Gatward, for a discussion, including a range of memorable clips, on the rich
and varied films of this sometimes-overlooked legend of the screen. As he said
before every take: Its magic time.
