This 30 minute documentary is very simply produced. No special effects or editing. Just a lot of photos of John Gilbert in his prime, along with the personal stories of his all too short life and career told by his daughter Leatrice Gilbert Fountain. His life was a total adventure. He was quite literally one of the leading men who helped create the Hollywood film industry when filmmaking was in its infancy. His films still remain a beautiful visual experience. Film buffs should search them out. It was heartbreaking to hear about Greta Garbo leaving John Gilbert waiting at the alter. A wonderful documentary that can be viewed in just over 30 minutes.
