The actor posted never-before-seen clips from the movie, adding that he doesn't recollect "a single day without joy".

Martin Scorsese Remembers a Colleague and Comrade

Scorsese pointed out Reiner's acting part in his 2013 film *The Wolf of Wall Street*, embodying the father of the protagonist.
"He was skilled at improv with the best. He was a master at comedy, he worked wonderfully with everyone, and he understood the human predicament of his character," Scorsese wrote.
