Palance is funny, but he was also totally on point with his retort, 'Are you asking me, or leading me to an answer?' Quite often times, interviewers do the latter, and i would much rather hear the former.
Jack was a boxer in his youth and came from hardscrabble Ukrainian immigrants he could shatter Letterman in a real fight even at the right old age of 73.
Who's going to think about a film that's 40yrs old. ? !!!!! Well sorry Jack, there are thousands, possibly millions of film fans and admirers around the World, who have SHANE right up there, as one of the true classics in the Holywood westerns. Once Upon A time in the West, the three Clint dollar trilogies, Shane can hold a candle to any of those westerns, and it was made as long ago as 1952. True classics will remain just that, Classics
Marvelous! Angel man Jack Palance is in great good form for this interview. He reminds me of Master Bruce Lee so much sometimes, he has so much energy & so much good health, and just outright discipline and focus. Good health has a positive effect on you and on the Universe, always. And the energy you get from training just makes you happy and cheers you up. Thanks for gracing the screen once agaen for us Sir Jack, it's been a pleasure Sir.
Jack was an amazing actor and an even better human being. One of my favorite movies is Heat with Pacino and Deniro. I cant help what might have been if Pacino declined the role or wasnt available to play Hanna. Jack would have been perfect for that role.
Jack Palance A Man's Man. Brings to mind the Thomas Paine expression if you're afraid to offend you cannot be honest. And if nothing, Mr palance was certainly that! And I have to say, another masterfully navigated interview by Mr Letterman on someone who was notorious for chewing up and spitting out interviews. ❤
It's funny how confused the audience seems to be, not understanding that Palance is joking a lot with his answers, or giving metaphorical replies. Their reactions seem to be taking everything he says as literal. Was there no understanding of simile and metaphors in 1992?
+Matthew Stechel : still, David Paymer was nominated for an Oscar for his role in the film, which greatly pleased Mr. Crystal (who also wrote and directed).
mr saturday night is a great movie, you should watch it sometime. you know the wizard of oz lost money when it came out too, and the big lebowski same thing, now a cult favorite.
