Product Description

Book Description
Jack Lemmon is known to audiences the world over for his roles
in classic comedies of the 50s and 60s such as `Some Like It Hot', `Mr
Roberts', `The Apartment' and `The Odd Couple'. But, in a film career that
spanned over 45 years, he also excelled in ground breaking dramatic roles
that sometimes riled Governments and raised social issues in every decade
through to the 90s.

For the first time, Call Me Bud examines this amazing career in film from
his arrival in Hollywood fresh from the pioneering days of TV right through
to his last appearances as the 21st century dawned. Along the way, the
story takes in legendary Directors from George Cukor and Billy Wilder to
Robert Altman, and writers from Garson Kanin through Neil Simon to David
Mamet. Amidst all the Oscars and Emmys too, the book looks at the man's
crucial ethos on acting, his unselfish support of those starting out in the
business and the impact he had on so many other fine actors from Walter
Matthau to Kevin Spacey.

Often known as `America's Everyman' for his approachability, the truth is
that Jack Lemmon was an extraordinary man and actor. Over the course of
almost 70 films, Call Me Bud shows just why.

4.0 out of 5 stars Superbly researched..., 31 Aug 2007
By Peter Suchet (London, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a superbly researched book about the life and work of this wonderful actor. I say "book about", because as the Foreward makes clear, this is neither a biography - done before, many times over - and nor does it offer us a tedious film by film synopsis, fit only for Jack Lemmon anoraks, of which I am not one and nor, I suspect, is Mr Fuller.

What Fuller achieves so brilliantly, is to contextualise this fine actor's body of work and its continuing importnce to us, not to mention his huge range and versatility - the comedy of The Odd Couple, the pathos of The Apartment, the drama of Glengarry Glen Ross and the political conscience of The China Syndrome.

Jack Lemmon passed away only a little over 6 years ago and yet these important themes contained in his work will, I believe, resonate with us for many years to come.

Try not to watch another Jack Lemmon film without reading this important book first.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cracking read!, 29 Aug 2007
By Tony Kinghorn (Sussex, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a really well written insight into the life and film work of Jack Lemmon. Full of interesting detail and anecdotes from one of my favourite actors - you tend to forget how many excelent films he starred in and the range of his work also.
Well worth a read - recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars say it again Jack, 28 Aug 2007
IF you are a Jack Lemmon afficianado then you simply must get Call me Bud. It is an amazing compendium of facts large and small about every single aspect of Jack's film career. If you are a fan of Mr. Lemmon then I guarantee that you will find at least one gem of a fact that you never new about his Jackness.

If you loved Jack Lemmon then buy the book, you wont be disapointed.
