This is a movie short on the making of "Lust for Life", a biographical movie about the life of Vincent Van Gogh which came out the same year, 1956.
Details are given on location shooting (in France and elsewhere) as well as some history on Van Gogh himself. The given history is interspersed with scenes from Lust for Life, starring Kirk Douglas.
The whole thing comes across as a combination of a movie trailer and a DVD "making of" extra. It gets the job done, garnering interest in the movie, and gives a few behind the scenes particulars, including Douglas having a conversation, in French, with a local gal who knew Van Gogh.
Definitely worth a watch for film or Van Gogh buffs. The TCM print I saw ran 20 minutes.
