Edie Adams

Si alguien tuviera que interpretar en la gran pantalla a Harlan Ellison, este sería sin duda el rey de la caricatura Robin Williams, pero como estamos en terreno del documental, la Señora Doubtfire sólo puede ejercer de maestro de ceremonias. Él nos introduce a la figura de este escritor de ciencia ficción homenajeado (véase Terminator) y relevante (véase la serie Star Trek). De entre las citas varias que aparecen en este documental, llama la atención esta: “los escritores son exorcistas de sus propios demonios”. Curiosa frase para definir a uno de los autores más demoníacos (léase pícaros) de la literatura fantástica.

A 2007 documentary on the making of 'The Apartment'.

Broadway: The Golden Age is the most important, ambitious and comprehensive film ever made about America's most celebrated indigenous art form. Award-winning filmmaker Rick McKay filmed over 100 of the greatest stars ever to work on Broadway or in Hollywood. He soon learned that great films can be restored, fine literature can be kept in print - but historic Broadway performances of the past are the most endangered. They leave only memories that, while more vivid, are more difficult to preserve. In their own words — and not a moment too soon — Broadway: The Golden Age tells the stories of our theatrical legends, how they came to New York, and how they created this legendary century in American theatre. This is the largest cast of legends ever in one film.

When the cameras rolled, Doris Day wore a happy face, never hinting at the pain she endured in her personal life.

This is a splendid little sleeper of a movie. Ernie Kovacs was one of the giants of early television. I think he would be pleased with the way Jeff Goldbloom captures his wonky personality. Melody Anderson also distills that of Edie Adams. There is a very basic heart tugging story about the search for Kovacs' two abducted daughters. But at the same time the film is funny --- Cloris Leachman is a hoot as Kovacs impossible mom --- and has many of the offbeat and innovative qualities of the old Kovacs show itself.
