Say what you want about Hef--- to his credit, he's been a huge supporter of motion picture history and has financed several excellent documentaries. This one is takes a warts and all look at Berkeley, acknowledging his genius and his decline (mother fixation, alcoholism) in honest doses. A big plus is that the producers managed to located 80-year old Berkeley favorite Toby Wing and her sister Pat and obtained interviews with them both (sadly, both have since died). This is a definite "10" for anyone who loves movie history. This is a hard-to-find title (I had to buy a VHS on eBay) since PBS has never obtained release rights. I believe this has been shown on TCM. Catch it if you can!
