Feature length documentary, with some great material, e.g. the ads he did in the 1950s and 60s. Thankfully he did recover from his terrible mistake of moving in 1930 to MGM, where all creative control was taken away from him and he was badly mismanaged. Love that at the 1965 Venice Film Festival he received the longest standing ovation in its history. Some brilliant clips from early shorts and his run of amazing features, and loved the montage which showed all his injuries sustained throughout making them.
An eclectic cast of commentators includes Richard Lewis, Quentin Tarantino, Werner Herzog and Carl Reiner.
The Navigator, Sherlock Jr., Our Hospitality definitely all on the must-see list.
