Description

Al Pacino loves Chinese Coffee. Not coffee imported from China. Instead he loves the play by Ira Lewis. So much so that he performed it many times on stage. Then decided to make a film of it starring himself and Jerry Orbach (Dirty Dancing). That's when Pacino started to struggle. Chinese Coffee is a film with an unusual road to release.


To talk about the film actor Sarah Lynn Dawson (I Lost My Body) joins the podcast to discuss what it was like seeing Chinese Coffee for the first time at a screening with Al Pacino in attendance, how it got her thinking about her own acting style and why she was so interested in the dynamic between Pacino and Orbach in the film.



All About Al: The Pacino Podcast is written, produced and presented by Mark Searby.
