Customer Reviews

“She lives in the movies; it is there that you will find her.”

This is an excellent biographical documentary on Mary Pickford (Gladys Smith). Much more than just a biography of one of the most powerful women in the film industry or in the world, for that matter, this presentation depicts the interworking of the film industry of the time. We see previously unreleased film portions from Mary’s personal archive. We also get to watch the highlights of many marvelous films without sitting through the complete viewing. Who would have suspected “The Taming of the Shrew?” Some of the films you will want for your own collection. The presentation does go in chronological order, and even though we bounce back and forth from different presenters as Whoopi Goldberg and Charles "Buddy" Rogers, you do not feel that you are being bombarded with sound bites.
