Movie Description
The extraordinary life and times of pioneering director William A. Wellman are explored in this documentary that not only offers a glimpse of the man and his work but also provides insight into the early Hollywood studio system. From Wellman's beginnings in Brookline, Massachusetts, through his career as a distinguished flier in World War I to his rise as a Hollywood director in the 1920s, the film includes the breadth of his life--which embraced five marriages and an equally stormy relationship with Hollywood that resulted in 76 films. Wellman's grit and determination netted a string of classics, which include WINGS, the first Best Picture Academy Award winner; PUBLIC ENEMY, which introduced James Cagney to the screen; the original A STAR IS BORN; and THE OX-BOW INCIDENT. More than two dozen interviews with such contemporary figures as Clint Eastwood, Robert Redford, Richard Widmark, and Jane Wyman offer entertaining testament to Wellman's legacy. This documentary tribute to Wellman's vast skill is fitting recognition of his profound contribution to contemporary cinema. Alec Baldwin narrates the film.

Editorial Reviews
"...An affectionate tribute..."
Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan (05/11/1996)

"...[A] superb personal portrait....The movie makes a dubious case that Wellman was a woefully underrated stylist..."
USA Today - Mike Clark (05/16/1997)
