Lily Tomlin was born the day World War II started. Steve Martin was born the day World War II ended.
This is the first of three films that Steve Martin and Lily Tomlin made together. The other two are And the Band Played On (1993) and, The Pink Panther 2 (2009).
In an interview, Steve Martin once said of this movie: "This man is not an idiot. He is a contemporary person with some brains . . . he's not naive or a victim of circumstances. He's an intelligent man who happens to get caught in a disaster. That's a big difference between this role and any other part I've played . . . For the first time I'm in a story with a beginning, middle, and end. It's old-fashioned and solid . . . This movie was like going to school. I learned a lot about structure and character".
I'm not a big Steve Martin by any means, yet for some reason I enjoyed "All of Me" when i first saw it. :)
The Day of the Jackal, 1973. directed by Fred Zinnemann.

During the filming of the final sequence where President Charles de Gaulle is presenting medals to veterans, the many extras were unaware of how close a resemblance actor Adrien Cayla-Legrand bore to the actual President. On the first take, when the President exits his limousine, most of the crowd gasped, and an elderly extra, who was playing one of the veteran soldiers, fainted in shock.
The novel/film adaptation of "The Day of the Jackal" caused the London Public Records and Passport offices to tighten their regulations to reduce the chance of anybody stealing and using a deceased person's identity, as the Jackal did. Frederick Forsyth said in an interview that he was aware that such things happened in the 1960s. However, no one in the British government took notice of this in spite of letters of caution from him to them until after this movie was released.
The special lightweight rifle that The Jackal concealed in a crutch was a genuine working model. Two of them were made for this movie. One was handed over to the British authorities, and the other now resides in the Paris Cinematheque.
One of my favourite films! :)
yes its a great, early forsyth novel to screen. think there were 4 all pretty good earlyish ones of which this is probably the best. they remade it under the title, 'the jackal' if memory serves. it was supposedly poor fare, although ive not seen it.Quote:
