Max Rose

A touching, heartbreaking, well-acted, realistic, star-studded (Mort Sahl, Illeana Douglas, Fred Willard, Rance Howard, and Lee Weaver), 83-minute, 2013 film in which an aging, grieving, widowed jazz pianist (Jerry Lewis) reminisces about his deceased artistic wife (Claire Bloom) of 65 years in Los Angeles and the affair that she might have had with a smitten producer (Dean Stockwell) while his grade schoolteacher granddaughter (Kerry Bishé) and son (Kevin Pollak) desperately try to console him.
