Useful documentary of the melancholy Lewton and his themes of war and repressed femininity. Born in Yalta, home of 'The Lady with the Dog', nephew of actress Alla Nazimova. Interesting on his use of less familiar actors, good contributions from his son. Narrated by Scorsese.
The Curse of the Cat People looks like the masterpiece we've yet to see.
Roger Corman and Robert Wise are among the contributors.
