Steve Martin's works have passed through my life from my
earliest days. My family was always big
into comedies. I'm not going to say that
my one uncle videotaped off of HBO practically every movie that they showed in
the 80s. Plenty of Martin movies were
part of that unsubstantiated archive.
But it wasn't until the cusp of my adult when I understood, or rather
realized that I did not yet fully understand, the work of Steve Martin. Late one night A Simple Twist of Fate came
on. The credits said Steve Martin, so I
settled in for solid entertainment. What
I got was a character study of a complex man.
My eyes were opened to a whole new world - that a comedian could be so
much more.
