Historia
Robert Osborne was longtime (and the original) primary host of Turner Classic Movies (TCM) cable television channel. He was also an actor, film historian, author, columnist, presenter, and general TCM representative.
Del director de "I am Divine" y con una serie de invitados ilustres como Muhammad Ali o Glenn Close, llega este fascinante documental que rescata uno de los secretos mejor guardados del Hollywood Clásico. Narra el delirio de Gloria Swanson quien, aprovechando la estela de "El Crepúsculo de los Dioses", trató de volver a las luces de Hollywood con una extrañísima versión musical de la película.

Montgomery Clift siempre se negó a entrar en el juego de los estudios. No firmó ni un contrato, abandonó "El crepúsculo de los dioses" antes de comenzar el rodaje y entre las películas que rechazó están "El puente sobre el río Kwai", "Al este del Edén" o "La ley del silencio". Dado que su talento era tan deslumbrante como su belleza, Hollywood aceptó sus condiciones. Montgomery Clift rompió convenciones dentro y fuera de la pantalla, pero innumerables biografías se limitaron a etiquetarlo como “trágicamente autodestructivo” o “atormentado”. Su sobrino Robert Clift vuelve con rigor sobre estas narraciones incorrectas. Con una magnífica selección de vídeos antiguos, entrevistas, y una colección de archivos inéditos de Monty y su hermano, Brooks Clift, desmonta esa psicología barata que redujo una vida y una carrera extraordinarias a un mero cliché freudiano. En las imágenes de Monty en su tiempo libre, su alegría y exuberancia iluminan la pantalla…

Considerada en la década de 1940 como la mujer más guapa del mundo, la mítica estrella de Hollywood fue también una gran inventora. Hedy Lamarr, la estrella del Hollywood clásico, pasaba las noches encerrada en su laboratorio desarrollando patentes para el ejército e incluso ideó un proyecto de comunicación secreto que ayudó al ejército aliado en su lucha contra los nazis. Este revelador documental descubre a una increíble mujer que corrió intrépidas aventuras para escapar de un esposo maltratador que simpatizaba con el III Reich y que pasó las noches tratando de crear un sistema de comunicación secreto que ayudó a ganar la guerra contra los nazis, mientras de día participaba del glamour de las grandes producciones de Hollywood.

En la década de 1950, Tab Hunter fue el número uno en la taquilla y el número uno en las listas de música y fue la joven estrella más buscada de Hollywood. Natalie Wood, Debbie Reynolds y Sophia Loren fueron solo algunas de las actrices con las que estaba vinculado románticamente. Era el vecino de América al lado y, al parecer, nada podría dañar la carrera de Tab Hunter. Nada, es decir, excepto el hecho de que Tab Hunter era secretamente gay. Ahora el secreto ha sido revelado.

In the '40s Howard Hawks boasts that he can make a movie out of the worst thing Hemingway ever has written. When Hemingway asks, which novel he means, Hawks says To Have and Have Not. Jules Furthman writes a script, which follows the book closely. The location of the story is Cuba, but the US Government is against depicting corruption and violence on Cuba, and threatens to withdraw the film's export license. William Faulkner rewrites the script, and relocates the story to Martinique. Hawks's wife, Nancy Slim Gross, happens to see a young model at the cover of the magazine Harper's Bazaar, and shows it to her husband. Hawks is a star-maker, who likes to discover and nurture new talents. After a screen test, he chooses the 19-year-old model as the lead actress opposite Humphrey Bogart. She changes her name from Betty Perske to Lauren Bacall. At the first takes she is so nervous that she shakes.
