If I have one complaint about this 2015 documentary on Jack P. Pierce, it's the inclusion of several battered trailers that pad out the running time to 82 minutes, but at least the other half of the screen is occupied by shots of the man's work. While a nicely comprehensive look at all his Universal horror credits, the many photos and ample narration also point out the man's equally adept talent in bringing out the glamour in their leading ladies. His early years are detailed from goat herding in Greece to emigrating to America, a brief stop in San Francisco marred by the devastating 1906 earthquake. His makeup skills over a number of years, moving from semipro baseball to the movie business, first managing a theater to working behind the scenes as well as in front of the camera. Several studios employed him during the silent era, and "The Monkey Talks" shows off his amazing chimplike handiwork 40 years before John Chambers' Oscar-winning "Planet of the Apes." Universal beckoned for full time employment, not just building up Boris Karloff's Monster or Mummy, but also coaching the studio basketball team to eventual Olympic gold. Pierce himself can be heard in audio interviews, while other quotes are also featured, his lifelong friendship with director Arthur Lubin resulting in his final occupation working on MISTER ED. We see him with Karloff on a 1957 THIS IS YOUR LIFE, and a short clip of Boris from 1968 discussing "Frankenstein." Sadly, the Pierce funeral that year numbered only 24 mourners, seemingly forgotten in his time but by 2003 was acknowledged with a posthumous Lifetime Achievement award for his six decades of service. Just as Rondo Hatton continues to earn new fans in the many years since his passing, so too will Jack Pierce, and hopefully more documentaries will be forthcoming to fill in the gaps from a bygone yet enduring era.
