Jack Lemmon's Cinema

BBC One
on BBC One London

In this Personal Cinema programme Jack Lemmon, film star, Academy Award winner, and production executive, talks to Michael Aspel about his stage and screen career and the prospects of his first directorial assignment. He also chooses scenes from some of his favourite films including Robert Donat's moment of triumph in The Magic Box.
'The highest compliment one can pay an actor... is to say that having seen him in a particular part it would be impossible to imagine anyone else playing that part. And so often I felt that about Robert Donat.'
'I was going to save the entire Broadway theatre, but for some reason they wouldn't let me do it.'
