Reader Reviews
George Stevens, Jr. pays loving tribute to his father in GEORGE STEVENS: A FILMMAKER'S JOURNEY. The documentary opens with a scene from Giant (1956) and quickly segues to a scene from Alice Adams (1935). Appropriately enough. Alice Adams was his first big feature and Giant was the next to last good movie he directed. After The Diary of Anne Frank (1959) he directed a couple of real stinkers - The Greatest Story Ever Told (1965) and The Only Game in Town (1970), with Elizabeth Taylor. Most of this entertaining movie is devoted to Stevens' great movies, and there's a raft of them - Alice Adams, Gunga Din, The Best Years of Our Lives, and the list goes on. Interspersed in some extended scenes from the movies are interviews with actors and actresses, producers and fellow directors. This is a movie of praise, and it's a real treat for fans of old movies to get a chance to listen to Fred and Ginger talk about the `break-up' dance in Swing Time, Cary Grant and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. talk over film clips and color home movie 16-mm clips from the Gunga Din set, and Joel McCrea discussing the making of the wonderful war-time movie The More the Merrier. Also included is 16mm footage Stevens took in Europe during World War Two. The only color footage, the movie tells us, to come out of Europe during the war. A fun and fascinating appreciation of one of cinema's master directors. Highly recommended.
