Max Rose (FULL MOVIE) - Drama, Comedy, Indie, Jazz | Jerry Lewis, Dean Stockwell, Fred Willard

82-year-old jazz pianist Max Rose [Jerry Lewis] has lost his beloved wife of 65 years, Eva Rose. Attempting to settle into his new reality as widower with the support of his loving granddaughter, Annie Rose, he makes a troubling discovery in the form of an intimate inscription on a gift Eva received from another man.
With the help of new friends, he sets out on a quest to uncover the identity of this mysterious other man that walks him backwards through the timeline of his life, until he comes face to face with a surprising truth that deepens his understanding of his marriage and his life.
Max Rose is Jerry Lewis' last major starring role as an actor. It was also the final credit for Mort Sahl, and because it wasn't released in the U.S. until 2016, the last filmed role released in the U.S. for Dean Stockwell (he had an animated voiceover credit late in life).
