Final reflections from Rob Reiner on his father's legacy
The late director Rob Reiner’s prolific talents spanned medium and genre. Reiner started out as an actor on Norman Lear’s classic sitcom All In the Family. He then made the transition to behind the camera with ease, directing comedic gems including This is Spinal Tap, When Harry Met Sally, and The Princess Bride. He proved equally adept at drama with Stand by Me and Misery. For The Treat, Reiner paid tribute to a multi-talented inspiration whose influence stayed with him his whole life — his father, Carl. This reflection was recorded in September and is being released for the first time.
