Comfort viewing for me. Also moving, educational, funny, sometimes eyebrow-raisingly dated on race and sex. Features some unbelievable talking heads from King Vidor to Lillian Gish, people who seem too burnished and legendary and unreal to actually just be sharing their memories to camera.
A must-see for anyone w/ an interest in film history, particularly the episodes on silent-age stuntmen and on Swanson & Valentino.
