‘Life is Pain Without You’: Cary Elwes Remembers His Director

The actor uploaded behind-the-scenes footage from the movie, commenting that he could not remember "a single day without laughter".

Scorsese mentioned Reiner's acting part in his 2013 film *The Wolf of Wall Street*, playing the father of the main character.

"He was skilled at improv with the best. He was a virtuoso at comedy, he worked seamlessly with everyone, and he comprehended the human predicament of his character," Scorsese wrote.
