Martin Scorsese Remembers a Colleague and Comrade

Scorsese highlighted Reiner's acting part in his 2013 film *The Wolf of Wall Street*, portraying the father of the lead role.

"He could improvise with the best. He was a master at comedy, he worked wonderfully with his co-stars, and he grasped the personal struggle of his character," Scorsese wrote.
