This week, the Kicking the Seat Podcast welcomes writer/director/producer Daniel Noah to discuss his wonderful new film, Max Rose. In this sweet but darkly profound drama, Jerry Lewis plays an elderly jazz pianist who, following the death of his wife, is left to question his priorities and life's work. Noah talks about the fictitious Max Rose's real-life inspiration, what it's like to work with and befriend Jerry Lewis,* and the importance of perspective when pursuing one's ambitions.
Like the movie on which it's based, Episode 149 is unexpectedly touching and full of surprises.
